Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp oil or melted butter
  • 1/23/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp grated garlic (optional)

For Topping

  • butter, for brushing (1-2 tablespoons)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. In measuring cup, combine the yeast, sugar, and milk and let sit until very foamy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl and create a well in the center.
  2. Add the warm milk & yeast, yogurt, and optional garlic into flour and mix until well-combined. 
  3. Stir until a dough is formed, then turn out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Transfer the dough to a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover loosely with a damp kitchen towel. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead briefly into a disc and cut the dough into equal-(golf-ball) sized pieces and roll into a ball.
  6. Heat a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Roll each dough ball out until it is about 1/4 inch thick and approximately 6 inches wide.
  7. Place one at a time onto the hot skillet. Cook until large bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip the dough and cook the other side until golden, about 1-2 more minutes.
  8. Brush the first side with garlic butter.
  9. Stack the cooked flat bread on a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm as you cook the remaining pieces.
