Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • Dry Yeast: 2 teaspoons
  • Sugar: 2 teaspoons
  • Warm Water: 1/4 cup make sure it’s not too hot or cold
  • Milk: 1/2 cup
  • Flour: 2 cups plus extra for dusting
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Butter or Oil: 1 tablespoon for moisture in the dough
  • Fresh Parsley: Finely chopped, for garnish optional
  • Melted Butter: For brushing optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes until bubbles appear, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, activated yeast mixture, and milk. Mix until combined.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil, and begin kneading the dough by hand until it forms a soft, smooth ball.
  4. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a cloth and place it in a warm area to rise (the oven with the light on works well). Allow it to double in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Shape the Flatbreads: Once risen, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball.
  6. Keep the dough balls covered as you work with them.
  7. Dust your surface lightly with flour, and roll each ball into a circle (about 6 inches in diameter).
  8. Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat until thoroughly hot. Do not add any oil.
  9. Place a rolled dough piece in the pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 20-30 seconds.
  10. Flip and cook the other side for another 20-30 seconds, until both sides are golden brown.
  11. Finish and Serve: Brush the flatbreads with melted butter and garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired.
  12. Serve warm as wraps, dipping bread, or with your favorite curry.
