Ingredients

For the Dough

•  3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt
•  1 tablespoon sugar
•  2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant or active dry yeast
•  1 cup warm milk
•  ¼ cup warm water
•  2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
•  Extra butter for brushing (optional)

 Instructions

 Activate the Yeast

 In a bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast.

 Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

 Make the Dough

 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

 Add the yeast mixture and melted butter.

 Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

 Knead

 Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and slightly elastic.

 If the dough feels sticky, add a little flour, one tablespoon at a time.

 First Rise

 Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl.

 Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap.

 Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

 Divide

 Punch down the dough gently.

 Divide into 6 equal portions.

 Roll each into a smooth ball.

 Cover and rest for 10 minutes.

 Roll Out

 Roll each ball into a circle about ¼ inch thick.

 Avoid making them too thin to keep them soft and fluffy.

 Cook

 Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

 No oil is needed.

 Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side.

 When bubbles appear and golden brown spots form, flip and cook the other side.

 Press lightly with a spatula if needed to encourage puffing.

 Finish

 Stack the cooked flatbreads immediately and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.

 Brush with melted butter for extra flavor if desired.

 Tips

 Keep the dough soft for fluffier bread.

 Don’t overcook, or the bread may become dry.

 Store covered while cooking the remaining flatbreads.

 Reheat for 20–30 seconds before serving.
