Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 4 cups Plain Flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Water Use warm water to enhance yeast activation.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Can swap with non-dairy alternatives like almond or soy milk.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Can substitute with honey or agave syrup.
  • 2 teaspoons Fast Action Dry Yeast Active dry yeast works too, but may require proofing.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • floured surface
  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Dough Hook (optional)

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, milk, sugar and fast action dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast foams.
  2. Gradually mix in plain flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm location for about 1 hour.
  5. Once risen, gently deflate the dough and divide into 10 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Roll each rested dough ball into a 9-inch disc, ensuring it's evenly thin.
  7. Place rolled dough onto a hot pan, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
  8. As each piece cooks, stack them on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  9. Once all pieces are cooked, serve fresh with kebabs, dips, or wraps.

Notes

Allowing the rolled dough to rest briefly makes it easier to roll out thinly.
