Pan Fried Bread

This is a rustic bread that comes out sort of like a Norwegian pita. From Andreas Viestad, "New Scandinavian Cooking."

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  ounce  yeast
• 1⁄2 cup water, lukewarm
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup buttermilk

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, stir together yeast, lukewarm water, half the flour, sugar, and salt; let stand 10 minutes so that the yeast can start to ferment.
2. Stir in the buttermilk and the remainder of the flour.
3. Place a moist cloth over the dough and let rise for 20 minutes; the dough will still be a bit sticky.
4. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat.
5. Drop a spoonful of dough in the pan, that has been lightly greased; spread the dough out and fry for 3 minutes on each side.
6. Repeat with remaining dough.
