Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm milk and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt, then make a well in the centre.
  3. Pour in the yeast mixture, the egg and the melted butter, then knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
  4. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until doubled in size.
  5. Knock back the dough, divide it into 4 pieces and shape each into a flattened ball about 15 cm across.
  6. Prick the centre of each round with a fork, then leave them to rest for 15 minutes.
  7. Cook in a heavy pan over medium-low heat, lid on, for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or bake at 200 °C for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
