4 Ingredient Olive Oil Bread (No Yeast Required)

After following the Tone It Up meal plan (more or less) for a week, I was ready for some good old fashioned bread on Sunday. There are few things I love more than a fresh slice of bread. The issue I have is that I don’t usually want to make an entire loaf of bread… because I will eat it all in a matter of days. Why aren’t there more single serving bread recipes? Just in case you love bread as much as I do, here is a super simple recipe for some warm and fluffy bread.

I’m not really sure if I should call these biscuits or rolls or just little mini loafs. You could make it in a bread pan so it would look more like regular bread but I made mine in a skillet to save time and avoid preheating the oven. Seriously, this recipe could not be easier! Ready?

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sea salt
• ⅓ cup warm water
• (Rosemary or other herbs, optional.)

1. In a food processor, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend for 10 seconds.
2. While running the food processor on low, slowly add in the olive oil and water.
3. Blend for 30 seconds or until a dough starts to form. (You’ll be able to tell; it’ll start to clump up.)
4. Warm a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
5. Sprinkle with olive oil and swirl around the pan to lightly coat.
6. Shape the dough into 4 small patties.
7. Drop into the heated skillet and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side.
8. You can sprinkle them with rosemary or other herbs while they’re cooking.
9. Serve immediately. (They will only keep for a day or so.)

Technically this recipe makes 4 little mini loaves so if you wanted to be strict on portions you could serve 4 people with these. But they’re so delicious that you’ll probably want to eat (at least) 2. Or maybe that’s just me?

I’m glad I can finally whip up a quick mini-batch of bread to accompany soups or salads without leaving a huge loaf of bread out on the counter.

Somehow, I managed to not eat all of these mini loafs (but I did eat 2 1/2… oops.) Luckily it was a gorgeous day outside yesterday and I managed to take quite few walks. I don’t have a pedometer but I’m pretty sure I got in plenty of steps for the day. I’m loving this warm weather!

Are you a carb lover like me or could you pass on the bread basket?
