Ingredients
- 500 g Bread flour (4 cups)
- 160 ml Warm milk (2/3 cup)
- 160 ml Warm water (2/3 cup)
- 10 g Instant dry yeast (1.5 tbsp)
- 10 g Sugar (1 tbsp)
- 8 g Salt (0.8 tbsp)
- 20 g Melted unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Pour warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast into a container. Mix them well.
- Add flour and salt, and mix well.
- Knead the dough by hand until it’s no longer sticky and the surface is smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it proof until it has doubled in size (about 60 minutes).
- Divide the dough into 6 pieces and shape them into rounds. Cover them with a plastic bag.
- Press them out with a roller to a round shape of about 18 cm and 5 mm thick.
- Turn on the stove and heat the pan over medium heat.
- Bake on both sides. When lots of bubbles have formed, turn the bread over to the other side.
- When the bread pops like a balloon, turn the heat down to low.
- Cover the bread with a cloth to prevent it from drying out while baking.
- Brush the bread with a little butter or olive oil and enjoy.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. To reheat, thaw at room temperature or warm slightly on the stove. You can add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor.
