Ingredients

8 servings

•

0.5 cup boiling water
•

0.75 cup cold milk
•

1 teaspoon white sugar
•

1.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
•

1 egg, beaten

•

2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
•

0.25 teaspoon salt
•

0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•

4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together the water, milk, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let stand for 5 minutes to dissolve.
Stir the egg and butter into the yeast mixture, then stir in the salt, nutmeg, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix until everything is well blended. Mix in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead for 10 minutes (no cheating!). Place dough into a greased bowl, and let rise until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 8 balls, and let rest for another 20 minutes. Roll each ball out to 8 to 10 inches in diameter.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each of the pieces of bread fro 30 to 60 seconds on each side, or until light to medium brown spots appear. Keep covered with a damp cloth, or store in a plastic bag until serving.
