- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp melted butter or ghee
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and yogurt; mix until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth.
- Let it rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
