4½ cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

½ cup warm water

½ small sachet active dry yeast

1 tbsp sugar

1 cup plain yogurt

¾ cup warm milk

Olive oil for brushing

Extra sea salt to sprinkle (optional)

Directions

1. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Mix together the warm water, sugar and yeast in a bowl until dissolved. Leave for 8 – 10 minutes or until the yeast rises to the surface. Add the warm milk and yogurt and stir to combine.
3. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and mix with a spatula until the dough comes together.
4. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead just until smooth, approximately 1 minute. Place dough back in bowl, cover and leave to rise.
5. When the dough has doubled in size form into even sized balls. Roll the balls into a long, oval shape and about ¼ inch thick.
6. Heat a large frying pan, cast iron pan or tawah over a high heat. Lightly brush one side of a nan with olive oil. Place the oiled side down in the hot pan. When the bubbles form on the surface, after1 – 2 minutes, turn onto the next side to finish cooking. Remove and repeat with remaining nan.
