Instructions

In a stand mixing bowl, mix lukewarm milk (about 110-115℉), 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add the remaining sugar, eggs, butter, and salt to the bowl. Mix gently until combined with the dough hook.
Gradually incorporate the sifted flour until a soft dough forms. It should be smooth and slightly tacky, not sticky.
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until it is elastic and soft.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–1½ hours, or until it doubles in size.
Gently punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions, rolling each piece into an oval or circle about ¼ inch thick.
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and place one piece of dough in the hot pan. Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden.
Flip and cook the other side until lightly charred and cooked through.
Brush each piece with melted butter while still warm, then stack and cover with a towel to keep soft.

Notes

Ensure the milk is lukewarm to properly activate the yeast.
You can use a nonstick pan for cooking if a cast-iron pan is not available.
For extra flavor, try adding minced garlic or herbs to the butter before brushing.
