yogurt   and     knead   with    the     dough   hook    on  low     speed
until the dough comes together into a smooth ball; it
should stick slightly to the bottom of the bowl as it is
kneaded (add a little more yogurt or milk if necessary).
Continue to knead until lightly elastic, about 5 minutes.



  1.  Turn    the dough   out onto    a   floured work    surface.    Using   a

    bench scraper or a knife, cut it into 12 even pieces. Roll
    each piece into a ball and cover with a clean kitchen
    towel or plastic wrap.




TO COOK ON THE GRILL




  1.  Ignite  a   chimneyful  of  coals.  When    the coals   are coated

    in gray ash, pour out and spread evenly over one side of
    the grill. Set the grill grate in place, cover, and allow to
    preheat for 5 minutes. Or, if using a gas grill, heat it to
    high. Scrape the grill grates clean.



  2. Working with one ball of dough at a time, roll the dough
    into an oblong roughly 10 inches long and 6 inches
    across. Once you have two or three pieces rolled out, lay
    them on the grill (above the coals) and cook, without
    moving them, until the bottoms are charred in spots and
    light golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip with a
    large spatula, pizza peel, or tongs and cook until the
    second side is charred and browned. Remove from the
    grill and immediately brush with melted butter. Transfer
    to a large plate and cover with a clean dish towel while
    you cook the remaining breads, stacking the breads as
    you make them.
