Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is often cheaper.

Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add yogurt and warm water to the dry ingredients.

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, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the tandoor or oven to a high temperature, around 475°F (245°C).

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

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

Brush one side with ghee or butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or garlic.

Place the dough on the tandoor wall or a baking sheet if using an oven.

Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

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