Quick and Simple Skillet Bread from Two Ingredients

Hello everyone,

Previously, I shared an excellent beet-cheese casserole recipe that’s always a hit. In fact, you can swap out the beets with orange, green, or other vegetables for variety. It’s important to include vegetables of all colors in your weekly dinner meals, as we discussed in the article about phytochemicals.

Now, let's continue with more light, quick, healthy, and above all, tasty dinner ideas.

Dinner is the time for the protein found in cheese and the abundance of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals found in vegetables.

As impressive as this next recipe is, it’s just as simple.

In a bowl: spelt flour and yogurt

Two-Ingredient Skillet Bread

The first ingredient – spelt flour.
Although its name resembles buckwheat, they are botanically unrelated, representing two different foods. Spelt is an ancient grain not yet tampered with by industry like wheat has been. Essentially, we consume the same grain our ancestors did. This means the body recognizes and digests it easily. Spelt is low in gluten and rich in fiber, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

The second ingredient – yogurt. The higher the fat content, the better, but no less than 3%. Intentionally, I'm not diving into the probiotic aspect now; with Hashem's help, I'll dedicate a fascinating article to it. What I will note is that yogurt contains essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and especially calcium, which is crucial for children during their growth phase, while they are building their skeleton. Calcium is stored in the skeleton up to a certain age. Some doctors say until age 18, others more lenient say until age 25. But all agree: it is important for the body to store calcium during growth so that, as adults, they can have a strong and healthy skeleton.

Yogurt contains essential vitamins like vitamin D, B12, and folic acid.

Kneading dough

Preparation method:

In a bowl, mix a cup of yogurt with one and a half cups of spelt flour.
You can add a pinch of salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda, but it’s not mandatory.

Divide the resulting dough into six equal parts.

Flour a surface and roll each piece into a large, thin circle.

Heat a skillet, you can grease it slightly with oil spray, depending on the skillet type.

Place the dough circle on the hot skillet. Once bubbles start to form, flip to the other side.
About 20-30 seconds on each side.

Roll out

Transfer to a plate and serve:

Try it with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil.
Or with hummus, a hard-boiled egg, and eggplant.
Or with labneh, olive oil, and herbs.
Or with cream cheese and roasted peppers.
You can even turn it into a pizza – spread tomato paste, grated cheese, olives, corn, and oregano on top, cover, and cook for another minute on low heat.

On a hot skillet until bubbles form

And flip

The possibilities are as vast as your imagination.
