2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
3 TBSP plain yogurt
1 egg, beaten
2 tsp salt
3 3/4 to 4 cups bread flour
2 tsp minced garlic
2 TBSP butter
Cilantro, minced

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Allow to sit for five minutes. Stir in milk, egg, salt and 3 cups flour. Knead six minutes adding more flour as needed to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for one hour. Punch down dough and divide into eight balls. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.

Over low heat melt the butter and add the garlic. Let the garlic cook slowly and flavor the butter. Do not let the garlic brown.

Preheat oven to 475 with a baking stone in oven so the stone gets super hot. Roll each ball of dough into a very thin oval shape. (You really want to get it thin, so you will get the bubbles when it hits the hot stone) Bake 3 minutes on the first side. Flip with a spatula or a pair of tongs and cook another minute or two on the second side. Repeat with each round of dough.

When the dough comes out of the oven, brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep bread warm and soft.
