Easy Skillet Bread (for soup)


Skillet Bread
http://savoryseasonings.blogspot.com/

2 cups flour
1 TBSP baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups milk
2-4 TBSP butter

Preheat oven to 400 F with skillet in oven. Mix together dry ingredients, then add milk until it looks like thick pancake mix (about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter to hot skillet and return to oven until butter bubbles. Pour dough into skillet and bake 15-20 minutes or until top is brown. Serve with soup by breaking off individual pieces.

Variations: Add cheese, bacon, taco seasoning, cornmeal or onions to dough.


*****
This is the BEST bread to serve with soup. It's so fast and tastes heavenly. The best part of this bread is the bubbly butter in the skillet that creates a crunchy crust on the bottom of the bread.

This bread is best eaten the day it is made, so if you don't think you'll eat a full batch, feel free to cut the batch in half (images are of a half batch). Thanks to Kim Kindlespire for this amazing recipe.

Hi Astrid, isn't this a great quick bread for soups? Glad to hear it worked well with wheat flour. I usually make mine with half white and half wheat, so its good to know all wheat works great too. Thanks!

Ham and cheddar cheese in the dough - perfect! The kids like it a lot. I'm going to link to this recipe from my lunch blog, because I'm putting some in their lunch tomorrow!

Thanks again!

This is a lifesaver recipe. We had it with guinness stew and added cheddar and chives. Quick, easy and delicious.
