Ingredients

For the Bread:

• 4 cups (480 g) all-purpose flour

 Instructions

1. Make the Dough

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

2. Add warm milk, warm water, yogurt, and oil.

3. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.

4. Knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.

2. Divide & Shape

1. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls.

2. Lightly dust with flour and roll each into a flat circle (about 7–8 inches wide).

3. Cook on Stovetop

1. Heat a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat.

2. Place one rolled dough on the hot pan.

3. Cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip.

4. Cook another 1–2 minutes until golden spots form.

5. Brush with butter or ghee while warm.

6. Repeat with remaining dough.

4. Serve

Serve warm — soft, buttery, and delicious!
Perfect with curries, cheese, honey, or just plain.

 Notes & Tips

• Yogurt: Makes the bread extra soft and tender. You can omit it if you want a firmer texture.

• Resting: Even a 10-minute rest makes the dough easier to roll and fluffier when cooked.

• Storage: Keep leftovers in a sealed container. Reheat in a pan or microwave with a damp towel.

• Freezing: You can freeze the cooked breads. Reheat directly on a pan from frozen.

Q & A

Q1: Can I make it gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute all-purpose flour with a good-quality gluten-free all-purpose blend (with xanthan gum).

Q2: Can I use only water instead of milk?
Yes, but milk adds richness and softness. For best flavor, use at least half milk.

Q3: How do I make it crispier?
Cook slightly longer on each side and brush with less butter.

Q4: Can I stuff it with cheese or garlic?
Absolutely! Add shredded cheese, garlic butter, or herbs between two rolled dough circles and seal the edges before cooking.
