Ingredients
  

  • 160 ml Warm Water
  • 2 tsp Dry Fast Action Yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 120 ml milk warm
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 400 g All-Purpose Flour
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions
 

  • Pour the warm water into a bowl and dissolve the yeast and sugar until it starts to get foamy. Stir in the milk, oil, salt, baking powder and 2 cups of flour.
  • Stir well and then knead in the remaining flour until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl. Continue to knead for 5 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized pieces and form it into balls. Preheat a skillet or cast iron pan to medium-low heat. 
  • Roll each ball out to an 18cm circle, then cook each side of the bread for 2-3 minutes or until brown spots form and the bread is cooked through.
