flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil offers healthy fats and a high smoke point.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and can be used for a dairy-free option.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

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

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture along with olive oil.

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

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

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into rounds.

Roll out each round into a flat disc.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Alternatively, fry the discs in hot oil until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve warm, optionally with honey or syrup.
