Activate the Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5–10 minutes, until frothy.
Prepare the Dough: Add the salt, flour, and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape the Bread: Punch down the dough and divide it into 6–8 equal pieces. Roll into balls, then flatten into discs about ½ inch thick.
Cook on Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Cook each bread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir in parsley if using.
Serve: Enjoy the warm pan bread with a generous dip of garlic sauce!
