 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      cups          all-purpose flour
      1/4  cup           plain yogurt
    1                    egg -- slightly beaten
    1 1/2  teaspoons     baking powder
    1      teaspoon      sugar
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/8  teaspoon      baking soda
      1/2  cup           milk
                         ghee or vegetable oil
                         poppy seeds
 
 Mix all ingredients except milk, ghee and poppy seeds.  Stir in enough milk
 to make a soft dough.  Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until
 smooth, about 5 minutes.  Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up.
  Cover; let rest in warm place about 3 hours.
 
 Divide dough in 8 equal parts.  Flatten each part on lightly floured surface,
 rolling it into a 6 X 4″ leaf shape (round at one end, tapered at the other)
 about 1/4″ thick.  Brush with ghee or oil; sprinkle with poppy seeds.
 
 Place 2 cookie sheets in oven; heat oven to 450F degrees.  Remove cookie
 sheets from oven; place breads on hot cookie sheets.  Bake until firm, 6-8
 minutes.
