- Preheat the oven to 225C/200C fan/Gas 8 and place a thick baking tray into the oven to heat.
- Whisk together the sugar, egg and milk in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and knead lightly to make a soft dough – take care not to work the dough too much or it will become too stretchy.
- When all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest, in a warm place, for 15 minutes.
- Once rested, knead the dough with the oil until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls and roll out into a circle of approximately 10cm/4in diameter.
- Spread the circles on the hot tray in the oven. Bake for 4-5 minutes – you might need to turn the bread to ensure it is all cooked. You will also most likely need to cook the bread in batches. Brush with melted ghee.
