Ingredients

  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 Tbls milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until it becomes frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt and the flour. Start with 4 cups of flour, and work up if you need to to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
  2. Punch down the dough. Pinch of small handfuls of dough and roll into the size of a golf ball. Place on a tray, cover and rise for another 30 minutes.
  3. Once they have risen, roll the dough into a thin circle. In a separate pan melt the butter and garlic together. Preheat the grill. You can use the outdoor grill, or a grill pan to cook these. Lightly oil the grill, and place the dough on. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until it starts to get puffy, and little bubbles form.
  4. Brush the uncooked side with the garlic butter, and turn over. Brush the other side with butter, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from grill, and finish cooking the rest of the bread. Enjoy!
