This easy and delicious bread is a staple within the Passamaquoddy tribe, of which I am a proud member. It comes together quickly, cooks on the stovetop, and requires no proofing!
Ingredients
· 2 cups flour
· 3 teaspoons baking powder
· 2 teaspoons sugar replacement
· 1 teaspoon salt
· Approximately 1 cup of water
· Cooking spray
· 2 Tbsp light butter, divided (I use I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Light)
Directions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar replacement, and salt.
2. Add about 3/4 cup of the water and stir with a spoon. If it hasn’t begun to pull away from the bowl and form a tacky ball of dough, add more water until it does. This may be the entire cup of water, or a little more. You want it slightly tacky and forming a rough ball. Set the dough aside to rest for about 10 minutes.
3. As the dough rests, heat a 10”-12” nonstick skillet (that has a lid) over medium-high heat. When the dough has finished resting, turn the heat to medium (medium-low, if your stovetop runs hot) and spray the skillet with cooking spray. If your stovetop is electric and takes longer to cool, you may want to give it a little longer to cool or simply start off at medium.
4. Add 1 Tbsp of light butter to the skillet, spread it around to melt it, then add the dough to the skillet. Spray your hands lightly with cooking spray, then press the dough out into a fairly even 10” disk, careful not to burn yourself.
5. Cover the skillet to form a makeshift oven and cook about 5 minutes before checking it. The dough should have puffed and begun to dry around the edge. Using a large spatula, lift the edge to check the color. If it’s getting too dark, turn down the heat slightly. Shake the skillet slightly to loosen it in case it is sticking anywhere, then cover it again and cook another 3 minutes or so.
6. Carefully flip the bread to brown the uncooked side. Add the other tablespoon of light butter to the skillet, lifting the bread around the edges to allow the butter to get underneath. DO NOT COVER IT! Check it at 5 minutes for color and, again, if it’s darkening too much, lower the heat slightly. Cook another 3 minutes or so, then turn it out onto a plate and enjoy with light butter, sugar-free jam, or anyway you like.
