Add sugar and milk to the yeast mixture and stir well.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat a griddle over medium heat until hot.

Cook each bread on the griddle for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove from heat and brush with melted butter or oil if desired.

Serve warm, often with stews or as a wrap.
