Start your morning right with this rustic Skillet Breakfast Bread, a quick and easy one-pan recipe that’s perfect for any busy day. Made with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar, this golden, fluffy bread is cooked first on the stovetop to achieve a crisp crust, then baked in the oven for a soft, tender interior. The combination of melted butter and milk ensures a rich flavor that pairs beautifully with sweet or savory toppings like honey, jam, or a slather of butter. Ready in just 35 minutes and served straight from the skillet, this recipe is the ultimate comforting breakfast solution for families or weekend brunches.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or any oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or oil to grease the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes on the stovetop to help the bread develop a golden crust on the bottom.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the bread cooks on the stovetop.
After 10 minutes, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the top of the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Enjoy the skillet breakfast bread warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite spreads.
