Making bread fast and with few ingredients so I'm writing a story where one of the characters is trying to make some bread with minimal ingredients in a short amount of time. I'm not having much luck with my normal means of researching so I came here for some help. I'd like to know what bread takes the shortest amount of time. Breads that can be made with minimal ingredients. And also I would just like to know if you have to knead flat bread.
A basic flatbread can be made by mixing flour, a little oil (if possible) and just enough water to make it stick together. Salt is often added.  No real kneading is needed, just mixing, but a little kneading helps.  Then roll/pound/press flat and cook in a frying pan or on a hot stone. In Egypt I've seen something similar cooked on the side of an old jerrycan over a wood fire.  This is basically what a chapati is, so very recognisably bread (but not risen).
