Mix whole wheat flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture, yogurt, and oil to the flour mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

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

Preheat the tandoor or oven to high heat (around 500°F/260°C).

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Roll out each ball into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Optionally, sprinkle with sesame or cumin seeds before baking.

Place the rolled dough onto the tandoor walls or a baking stone.

Bake until puffed and slightly charred, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from the tandoor and brush with ghee or butter before serving.
