Ingredients
- 3 tsp dry instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 6 oz warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 cups bread flour
Recipe Instructions
- In a mixer's bowl add the water, sugar, and yeast. Stir to combine. Set aside for 5 - 10 minutes until the yeast froths.
- Add the flour and salt. Mix using a dough hook for 6 - 8 minutes until the dough is an elastic ball and slightly sticky.
- Then, coat the dough with olive oil on all sides. Cover lightly with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
- Take the dough out of the bowl and divide into 6 even balls. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
- To form the pita, lightly dust a rolling pin and the pita with flour. Roll out to about 8 inches in diameter.
- Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a little oil and place pita, one at a time, on the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes on each side. Push down on top with a lid or wooden spoon to get more color if desired.
- Serve immediately.
