Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- ¾ cup (180ml) warm milk
- ½ cup (120ml) warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- For Topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Directions
- start by mixing the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast in a large bowl. This ensures all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- slowly add the warm milk, warm water, and olive oil while mixing. Once it starts coming together, I knead it for about 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, I divide the dough into six equal portions and roll each one into a round, flat disk about ¼-inch thick.
- heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each bread for about 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form. Then, I flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- While the bread is still warm, I brush it with melted butter and minced garlic for extra flavor.
- Finally, I sprinkle some sesame seeds and fresh parsley on top before serving.
