4. Let the Dough Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Shape the Dough
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf or divide it into smaller portions for individual rolls.
6. Preheat the Pan
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Grease the pan lightly with olive oil.
7. Cook the Bread
- Place the dough in the preheated pan. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil to create an oven-like environment.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 8-10 minutes on the other side. The bread should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
8. Cool and Serve
- Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy your homemade bread warm with your favorite toppings!

- Experiment: Try adding herbs, seeds, or whole grains to the dough for added flavor and texture.
