Step 1: Mix the Dough
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the yogurt (or buttermilk) and gradually add the milk until a soft, sticky dough forms. You may not need all of the milk, so add it slowly until the dough comes together but isn’t too wet.
Step 2: Knead and Rest
- Knead briefly: Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Rest the dough: Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. This will make the bread soft and easier to roll out.
Step 3: Cook the Bread
- Preheat your pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and grease it lightly with 1 tbsp oil.
- Shape the dough: Divide the dough into 4-6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a round, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the bread: Place one of the flattened rounds into the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly puffed. You’ll see bubbles forming as the bread cooks, giving it a light texture inside.
- Brush with butter: Once cooked, remove the bread from the pan and brush it with melted butter for extra flavor and softness.
