Ingredients
Scale
Dough 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
Topping Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Knead: Gradually pour in the warm milk, warm water, and olive oil while mixing. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Let Dough Rise: 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.
- Divide and Shape Dough: After the dough has risen, divide it into six equal portions, then roll each into a round, flat disk approximately ¼-inch thick.
- Cook Bread on Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each bread for 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush with Butter and Garlic: While the bread is still warm, brush the top with melted butter and minced garlic for enhanced flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped fresh parsley or cilantro on top before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the milk and water are warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
- Kneading the dough well is important for a soft and elastic texture.
- You can substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Optional toppings like garlic and sesame seeds enhance aroma and taste but can be omitted if preferred.
- This bread is best served warm and fresh from the skillet.
