Almond milk is a dairy-free alternative.

Combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a mixing bowl.

Gradually add water and milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

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

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

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

Flatten each ball into a disc and brush with ghee.

Fold the disc into a square, then flatten again with a rolling pin.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little ghee.

Cook each flattened dough for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a towel until ready to serve.
