Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 cups (480 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 package (10 grams) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (8 grams) salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (220 grams) yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 3.5 teaspoons (50 milliliters) avocado oil
- 0.75 cup (250 milliliters) clear water
Instructions
- Combine plain yogurt, water, and baking powder in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the mixture becomes completely homogeneous and smooth.
- Gradually fold in all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and vegetable oil into the liquid base, using gentle kneading techniques to create a soft, pliable dough without excessive manipulation.
- Divide the prepared dough into 10 uniformly sized portions, carefully covering them with a clean kitchen towel to prevent moisture loss and maintain dough elasticity.
- Gently flatten each dough segment into circular discs approximately 6 inches (15 centimeters) in diameter, ensuring consistent thickness across all pieces.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat, allowing the surface to warm evenly without adding extra oil.
- Place one dough disc into the heated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until golden brown bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look slightly crisp.
- Flip the bread and cook the opposite side for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning while achieving a uniform golden color.
- Remove the freshly cooked bread from the skillet and immediately brush with melted unsalted butter, which will enhance flavor and create a luxurious sheen.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining dough discs, stacking the completed breads on a serving plate and keeping them covered to maintain warmth and softness.
