Your pantry is a treasure
These days we stock up our pantry more than ever because of social distancing due to COVID. Who would have thought that we would become more efficient at budgeting and cooking meals with everyday ingredients?
Stocking up your pantry is one of the most natural things to do. Staple foods such as flour and sugar are considered gold ingredients in your pantry. Flour a versatile ingredient is found in cooking and baking. Whether you are baking a Cake a L’Orange or Veal Scallopini, you will always need some type of flour.
All-purpose flour is one of the most commonly used ingredients. It is used in most bread recipes and very affordable.
My go-to brand is King Arthur. Why may you ask? This brand has never failed me. Period!
I don’t have to worry about taste and consistency. One of the favorite King Arthur flour is Bread Flour. Check out this pizza recipe. You won’t believe the taste. And better yet, kids love it!

Tips and Notes

- I use my Kitchen Aid Mixer because it
- This recipe is perfect for mini quick pizza. The perfect snack for kids!

Easy Skillet Flatbreads
Ingredients
- 3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 cup ice water
- 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil additional for frying
Instructions
- Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the oil and ice water, and mix to make a soft, cohesive dough. Adjust with flour or water as needed. The dough should be moist but not sticky. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet on the stovetop. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat until the oil starts to shimmer in the pan.
- Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal pieces. Each piece should weigh about 1 1/2 to 2 ounces, about the size of a large egg. Dredge each piece in flour, and roll to a rough circle or oval, about 1/4″ thick. OR hand shape the pieces by flattening between your palms.
- In batches, fry the flatbreads in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and fry on the second side for another 2 minutes. Transfer from the pan to a rack to cool slightly before serving. Add more oil as needed for frying successive batches.
