I struggled for a while to figure out how to make my dough soft and fluffy, so I decided to try adding all the ingredients that help achieve that texture. I gave it a try, and thankfully, it worked out. I hope you like it if you try it. Enjoy!

Steps

1

Note: You may need to add more or less flour or water, as flour types vary.
2

Mix all the dry ingredients together well, then add the egg and rub it into the mixture.
3

Add the yogurt, vinegar, and milk (if using liquid milk), and knead well.
4

Gradually add the oil and water while kneading until the dough is soft, fluffy, and holds together.
5

Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
6

When shaping, dust your work surface with flour and shape the dough as desired.
7

Brush the tops with egg and milk, then sprinkle with black cumin seeds or sesame seeds.
8

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C). Keep an eye on them, as they bake quickly—about 20 to 25 minutes.
9

Remove from the oven, place on a serving plate, and enjoy.
