Add yogurt, milk, and egg to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a flat round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame, cumin, and black seeds.

Place the rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and brush with more butter before serving.
