Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 scoop whey isolate
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup warm milk
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and egg to the dry mixture and begin mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Slowly pour in the warm milk while mixing, stopping when the dough becomes soft, slightly sticky, and easy to knead.
  • Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough for 4–6 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and stretchy.
  • Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten and improve puff.
  • Divide the dough into 6–8 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
  • Flatten each ball gently into a round, about ½-inch thick.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and let it get hot before adding the bread.
  • Cook one bread at a time, allowing it to puff and form golden spots, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the skillet and brush immediately with melted butter or olive oil for shine and softness.
