1tspsugar
½Cupwater
2 ½ - 3CupsAll Purpose Flour
½tspsalt
¼CupVegetable oil
⅓Cupplain Greek yogurt
1Egg
Instructions
In a medium sized bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and water.
Stir to dissolve then let sit for a few minutes or until it is frothy on top.
At that point, stir in the oil, yogurt, and egg until evenly combined.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour with the salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture and stir until well combined.
Continue adding flour a half cup at a time until you can no longer stir it with a spoon (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups later).
Turn the ball of dough out onto a well floured counter top.
Kneed the ball of dough for about 3 minutes, adding flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking. The dough should be smooth and very soft but not sticky. Loosely cover the dough and let it rise until double in size (about 45 minutes).
Separate it into 8 equal pieces.
Heat a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with non-stick spray.
Working with one ball at a time, roll it out until it is about 1/4 inch thick or approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Place the rolled out dough onto the hot skillet and cook until the under side is golden brown and large bubbles have formed on the surface, about 1 minute.
Flip the dough and cook the other side until golden brown as well, about 30-45 seconds.
Brush with melted butter, or rub them with a stick of cold butter.
