Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Paddle Attachment
  • hook attachment
  • Rolling pin
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1 cup warm water see note
  • 4 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro minced

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour, yeast, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed to combine.
  • Add yogurt and water to the mixer bowl. Starting on low speed, beat until the mixture forms a shaggy dough, then switch to the hook attachment and knead for 4 minutes on medium-low speed.
  • Generously flour a work surface. Dump out the dough and sprinkle it with flour, too. Knead once or twice to form a large ball. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and form each piece into a ball by rolling the dough between your hands.
  • Oil a sheet of parchment paper. Place dough balls on top and roll them around to coat with oil. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and let rise 1 hour.
  • Flour a work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball flat to about ¼” thick. Lift the dough off the counter and use your hands to gently pull it into a thinner, slightly oblong shape. Let it rest 10 minutes in a single layer.

Notes

The dough may seem sticky, but it will come together as it kneads. Dampen hands to make handling easier and add more flour if necessary.
