Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. In a large bowl, combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. 2. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. 3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. 4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. 5. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a baking stone or inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat.
  6. 6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. 7. Place the disks on a lightly floured surface and cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
  8. 8. Transfer the disks to the hot baking stone or sheet. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the pitas puff up and are lightly browned.
  9. 9. Remove from the oven and wrap the pitas in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
  10. 10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
