Soft and Fluffy Pan-Fried Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• ¾ cup (180ml) warm water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter

Filling (optional):

• Cheese, mashed potatoes, or cooked minced meat
• Herbs and spices of choice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
   • Gradually add warm water and knead until a smooth dough forms.
   • Cover and let it rest for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
2. Shape the Bread:
   • Divide the dough into two equal portions.
   • Flatten each portion into a circle.
   • If adding a filling, place it in the center and fold the dough over, sealing the edges.
   • Gently press the dough to form a thick round shape.
3. Cook the Bread:
   • Heat a pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with oil.
   • Place the dough in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve:
   • Let it cool slightly, then enjoy warm with tea or as a side dish.
