Mix all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

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

Add the yeast mixture, milk, and melted ghee to the flour mixture.

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

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and brush with ghee.

Fold the dough several times to create layers and roll again into a large circle.

Cut the dough into smaller rounds or shapes as desired.

Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds.

Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
