Instructions:

Prepare the Milk Mixture:

In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup warm milk, 1/3 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon yeast, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 tablespoon sugar.

Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Make the Dough:

In a large bowl, add 2 cups of flour.

Pour the frothy milk mixture into the flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil and mix well.

Knead the dough for about 1 minute until it becomes smooth.

Let the Dough Rest:

Add 1 tablespoon of oil on top of the dough to keep it moist.

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

Shape the Flatbreads:

Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into 4 equal parts.

Roll each part into a flat, round shape with a rolling pin.

Cook the Flatbreads:

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until both sides are golden brown.

Spread butter on the hot flatbreads and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Variations

Garlic and Herb Bread:

Before mixing the dough, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of dried herbs (like oregano or thyme) to the flour. Once cooked, spread garlic butter over the flatbread for extra flavour.

Cheese-Stuffed Turkish Bread:

Before rolling the dough, flatten a small ball and place grated cheese (like mozzarella or feta) in the centre. Fold the dough over the cheese and seal the edges before rolling it out again into a flat shape.

Spiced Flatbread:

For a spiced version, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin or paprika to the flour. For an extra kick, sprinkle a mix of chili flakes and sesame seeds on top of the flatbreads before cooking.

Tips

Ensure Warm Liquid:

Ensure the milk and water are warm (not hot) to activate the yeast properly. Too hot, and the yeast will die; too cold, and it won’t rise well.

Rest the Dough Well:

Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place. If your kitchen is cold, you can leave the dough near a slightly warm oven.

Even Thickness:

Roll the dough to an even thickness for consistent cooking. If it’s too thick, the bread might be doughy in the centre; too thin, and it can burn.
