Ingredients

  • 1 package yeast
  • 1 c. warm water
  • 1/4 c. white sugar
  • 3 Tbs. milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 c. bread flour
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic (optional
  • 1/4 c. butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in warm water for around 10 minutes (until frothy). Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6-8 minutes, until smooth. Place in well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled (around 1 hour).

Punch down dough and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover and let rise until doubled (around 30 minutes).

To grill: Roll out dough to thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Grill 2-3 minutes until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2-4 minutes.
