Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp yogurt

Garlic butter

  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander/parsley
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt

Method

  1. Mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Rest 5 minutes.
  2. Add flour, salt, yogurt, and oil. Knead 6–8 minutes until soft.
  3. Cover and let rise for 45–60 minutes.
  4. Divide into 8 balls. Roll each into a small circle.
  5. Brush with garlic butter, fold/roll if desired, then gently flatten again.
  6. Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat.
  7. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden spots appear.
  8. Brush immediately with more garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh herbs.

Tip: Keep cooked breads covered with a clean towel so they stay soft. Serve warm with yogurt, raita, or curry.
