Hi, r/recipes!
Tldr, moved to China relatively recently and I'm already missing American food hardcore. I'm especially missing the savory yeast-risen doughs like hot pepper bread, pizza, and the like, but also the sweet ones like cinnamon rolls and donuts.
You can get some of those things here, but they're rare, hard to get to, very expensive, and just not the same quality-wise. The pizza in my city, for example, is just plain awful (as far as I've found so far).
I fear this will culinary isolation will get to me much faster and harder than any other aspect of the transition to living here.
Here's the problem, though: I don't have an oven yet, and I won't be able to get one for at least another month or so. I only have a single burner and a microwave (and an electric kettle, which doesn't really help in this case) for the time being.
And all of the breads I grew up with in my youth were obviously baked, save fry bread and donuts (which I've never made by myself before, and seem a little intimidating). But fry bread alone does not really sate my appetite for the bread-y food of my upbringing.
So here's what I need: give me your best breads, preferably yeast-based, that can get me through this slump.
I don't care if they're shallow or deep fried or something else. I don't care how expensive or hard to find the ingredients will be here. I just need American-style bread-based foods that don't require baking to get me through this month -- I can't overstate how much these foods were the basis of my upbringing (mom's from Wisconsin, beer bread was more common in my house than white bread).
Thank you for your time and consideration! ❤️
