  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 breads

Ingredients

Scale
  • Dough (makes 6 pieces approx. 18 cm each):
  • 500 g bread flour or all-purpose flour (about 4 cups)
  • 160 ml warm milk (2/3 cup)
  • 160 ml warm water (2/3 cup)
  • 10 g instant dry yeast (1.5 tbsp)
  • 10 g sugar (1 tbsp)
  • 8 g salt (0.8 tbsp)
  • Topping (optional):
  • 20 g melted unsalted butter or olive oil
  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Mix warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast in a container. Stir well.
  2. Add flour and salt, then knead the dough by hand until smooth and no longer sticky.
  3. Cover and let the dough proof until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces and shape into rounds. Cover with plastic bag.
  5. Roll each piece to about 18 cm diameter and 5 mm thickness.
  6. Heat a pan over medium heat on the stove.
  7. Cook each bread on both sides until bubbles form, then flip. When bread puffs like a balloon, lower heat to low.
  8. Cover bread with a cloth while baking to prevent drying out.
  9. Brush with melted butter or olive oil, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Freeze extra portions for quick future meals.
  • Use as a wrap for chicken shawarma or Thai chicken satay.
  • Great dipping bread for butter chicken or curry.
  • Prefer using a thick pan for better rising.
