Morphology
The meaning bread cooked in a skillet is directly and transparently composed from skillet (a cooking pan) and bread (a baked food). The noun phrase describes the type of bread by its cooking instrument, a straightforward compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words can infer. Regional variants (e.g., cornbread or soda bread) are usage specifics but do not affect the basic transparency.
Etymology
Skillet bread comes from the simple picture of dough cooked in a hot skillet over a fire or on a stove, so it is literally skillet + bread. That's why skillet bread means 'bread cooked in a skillet'.
