Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup Warm water (- 240 grams)
  • 2 ¼ tsp Instant yeast (- One packet / 7 grams)
  • 1 tsp Sugar (- 4 grams)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil (- 30ml)
  • 2 ¾ cups All purpose flour (- 380 grams)
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt (- 5 grams)

Instructions 

  • Combine water, yeast, sugar, and olive oil; mix until yeast dissolves. Add flour and salt; mix to form a shaggy dough.
  • Knead the dough until smooth and soft. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Divide dough into 8 balls, rest for 5 minutes. Roll each into 5-6 inch discs, then let rise covered for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high. Cook each pita 20-30 seconds per side until golden and puffed.
  • Store pitas in a towel-lined bowl to steam and soften before serving.

Notes

Ensure the pan is hot enough for quick cooking to puff the pitas.
