Instructions

  1. 1

    1. Combine the active dry yeast with warm water in a large bowl and let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    2. Add the sugar, milk, beaten egg, and salt. Gradually mix in enough bread flour to form a soft dough.

  3. 3

    3. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    4. Place the dough in the bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    5. Punch down the dough and knead in the minced garlic.

  6. 6

    6. Portion the dough into golf ball-sized pieces and roll them into balls. Place on a tray, cover with a towel, and let them rise for about 30 minutes until doubled.

  7. 7

    7. About 15 minutes into the second rise, heat your grill to high heat.

  8. 8

    8. Working with one dough ball at a time, flatten it into a thin circle. Lightly oil the grill grates and place the dough circle on the hot surface.

  9. 9

    9. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until puffy and lightly browned. Brush the top with melted butter and flip over.

  10. 10

    10. Brush the newly exposed top side with melted butter and cook for 2 to 4 more minutes until browned.

  11. 11

    11. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining dough balls.
