Ingredients

3 cups All-purpose flour plus some for dusting
1 cup Warm Milk or water
½ cup Yogurt plain
⅓ cup Oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

To Mix Manually

Whisk warm milk, yogurt, and oil or melted butter together in a bowl.
Add the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix with your hand or a wooden spoon till all the ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the dough to a floured work surface.
Knead for about 5 minutes until a smooth dough is formed. Proceed to step 4 below to continue the process.

To mix with a mixer

Whisk warm milk, yogurt, and oil or melted butter in the mixer bowl.
Add the flour, salt and baking powder. Use the dough hook and mix until well combined.
When the dough comes together, reduce the speed and knead for 1 minute until it's smooth. Remove the dough and shape it into a ball with both hands.
Transfer to a greased bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 7-8 portions. Roll to form balls.
Flatten out each ball into a circle using a rolling pin. I like to cook immediately after I roll it out. Avoid stacking rolled out dough. You can do it, but separate it with parchment paper.
In a hot pan, cook the flat dough for about 1 minute on each side until it has pale brown spots. Adjust your heat as you cook so it doesn't burn. You will also notice bubbles.
Remove and place it on a towel. Wrap it with the same towel to keep it warm and soft.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. See storage tips in the notes.
