- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp butter or ghee (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast; let it sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture along with yogurt. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
