1. Mix the Dough
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Slowly add the yogurt (or milk) and mix until a soft dough forms. Add a drizzle of oil to keep it smooth and prevent sticking.
2. Shape the Bread
Divide the dough into small equal balls. Flatten each one into a round disc, about 1–2 cm thick.
3. Cook on the Pan
Preheat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Place the discs in the pan without oil (dry cooking) or with just a light brushing of oil for extra crispness.
Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots appear, as shown in the image. Flip gently to avoid flattening.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Stack them on a plate, cover with a clean towel to keep warm, and enjoy your fresh, soft bread.
Serving Ideas
This pan bread is versatile and pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes:
- Spread with butter, jam, or honey for breakfast.
- Use as a base for sandwiches or wraps.
- Serve alongside soups, stews, or curries.
- Brush with garlic butter and parsley for a quick garlic bread.
Tips for Success
- Use yogurt for a softer, tangier bread; milk works too for a neutral flavor.
- Don’t cook on high heat—slow cooking ensures the inside cooks through while the outside stays golden.
- Covering the pan with a lid can help trap heat and cook the bread more evenly.
- For extra fluffiness, let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes before cooking (though it’s optional).
