- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅓ cup plain whole-milk yogurt

- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.

Add the yogurt and neutral oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder, then mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–6 minutes, until smooth, soft, and slightly tacky but no longer sticky.
