In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with the sugar and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6-8 equal pieces.
On a floured surface, roll each piece into a flat, round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
Fry each dough round for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels.
While still warm, optionally brush with minced garlic.
Enjoy your meal!
