- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Combine ingredients: Add the activated yeast mixture and yogurt to the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
