You can get that easily from supermarkets and artisans bakeries but they usually contain yeast and supermarkets often include additives.

Making your own white bread, while admirable, can be a bit of a faff...especially if life is busy.  

Here's a an alternative -- soft fluffy puffy flatbreads.  

They are the most bread-like flatbreads 67goingon50 has encountered. so far.  And they're cooked on a stovetop - no oven required.

They're easy and quick-- a  simple 1-bowl wonder that's ready in 30 mins, including resting & cooking time.

  1. Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl
