1 c very warm water
4 ½ c flour
1 egg, beaten
2 t salt

3 T milk
2 T oilive oil
2 t minced garlic (optional)
¼ c sugar
¼ c butter, melted
2 t instant yeast

Combine wet ingredients. Mix in dry ingredients. Knead into a smooth ball. Knead in garlic, if desired. If using regular yeast, allow dough to rise 1 hour (not necessary for instant yeast). Divide dough into about 12 pieces. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 500F. If you have a baking stone, lightly oil it and place in oven on top rack. Roll dough into thin circles. Place dough on hot baking stone or a baking sheet (do not place empty baking sheet in oven ahead of time). Switch oven to broil. Broil 2-3 minutes per side, brushing cooked sides with melted butter. Serve warm.
