In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar into the warm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it bloom for about five minutes.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, yogurt, egg, oil, salt and yeast water. Knead about 10 minutes, until the dough forms a smooth ball, adding a little flour as necessary if the dough is too sticky.
Place the dough ball in a clean bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise in a warm location until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Cut the dough into 8 equal portions and stretch or roll out to about ¼" thickness.
Cook each piece of rolled out dough in an oiled or nonstick skillet over high/medium-high heat until puffy, about 1 minute, then flip and repeat on the other side.
