Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
Ingredients:
500 g (1 pound) flour
150 ml (5 fl. oz) warm milk
150 ml (5 fl. oz) warm water
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp dry yeast
3 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)

Method:
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and dry yeast.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the warm milk and warm water into the flour mixture.
Stir until the liquids are absorbed.
Knead the Dough:
Add the olive oil to the mixture.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Let the Dough Rise:
Form the dough into a ball.
Lightly coat the dough ball with vegetable oil.
Place the dough in a warm place to rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Dough:
After the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball.
Roll out each ball into a flatbread shape.

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat.
Cook each flatbread for 5-6 minutes, flipping after 2.5-3 minutes. The flatbread should puff up and form a pocket when flipped.

Brush each hot flatbread with olive oil.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and chili flakes for added flavor.
Serve warm.
