Warm 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water in the microwave until it reaches about 105-110°F (40-43°C).
Stir in 2 1/4 teaspoons (a quarter packet) of active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly.
In a mixer bowl or large mixing bowl, combine 270 g (2 1/4 cups) of all-purpose flour.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and mix lightly to combine.
Pour in the yeast mixture, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/3 cup of plain yogurt into the flour.
Mix on low speed until the dough begins to come together, then increase to medium speed and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky.
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
To prepare the ghee, melt butter over low heat and gently skim off the foamy milk solids from the surface for about 20 minutes until the butter is clear and pure.
Divide the ghee into two portions; mix minced garlic into one portion to create garlic ghee for brushing.
Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball.
