Combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl and whisk until combined.

Combine the warm water and warm milk in a separate bowl. Then, create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the center. Stir the ingredients with a fork until combined.

Add olive oil to the bowl and mix the dough using your hands until the dough forms a ball. Use your hands to shape the dough into a ball.

Add olive oil to the plastic wrap to prevent the dough from sticking to it when it rises. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

Once the dough has risen, punch a hole in the center with your fist to knock out the air. Dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour, then remove it from the bowl. Gently tuck the dough towards the middle to form a ball. You can also knead the dough if necessary but do not knead it too much, as this will knock the air out of the dough and stop it from rising as it cooks.

Next, cut the dough into equal-sized pieces and roll them into balls. Do this by cutting across horizontally, vertically and diagonally twice.

Dust the surface with more all-purpose flour if necessary and gently use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a circular shape.

Heat a pan and cook the rolled dough on each side for 2-3 minutes on medium to high heat.

Once the flatbread is ready, stack them in a pile, brush melted butter or olive oil on top. dust with chili powder and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve Turkish bread with chicken kebab, Tabbouleh, turmeric rice, hummus or any other dish you choose.
