Home Made Bread on a Stovetop

Home made bread recipe

Hey guys,today lam going to share my family favorite bread recipe with you. as I said 
in my older post stove top pizza recipe, I am going to bake this bread on my stove top.
(using my stove top gas cooker).even not use any machine for make the bread dough.

 Actually my mother's sister used this baking method for make her cake years a go, then following by her i use it for bake my home made bread,buns, cakes and pudding.
We can not found big difference in oven baked bread and stove top bread. only thing is stove top bread doesn't have darkgolden color crust on the top.

This bread recipe is very easy to make ..mix all ingredients in a bowl,kneed the dough on your counter top for a several minutes, keep the dough for rising,and bake.

 bread is good with butter, jam or marmaite and can toast or make sandwiches. even you can eat with any type of curries you like. my family love to eat meat,fish or with dhal curry.
