Recipe PDFIngredients
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon and 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil OR olive oil, divided
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, and utensils.
- In a medium bowl, mix water, yeast, sugar, salt, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 cup of flour to form the dough.
- Using additional flour, adding a little more at a time, (about 1 to 1 1/4 cups) until dough begins to come together and is slightly sticky.
- Coat hands with flour and knead dough in the bowl for a minute until smooth. Dough should be soft, and not sticky.
- Pour 1/4 teaspoon oil into a large mixing bowl. Use a paper towel to rub oil onto all sides of the bowl. Place dough into bowl and cover with a clean towel. Allow to sit for 40 minutes.
- Lightly sprinkle flour to cover a cutting board. Place the dough onto the cutting board and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Using a rolling pin or jar, roll out each piece into a thin circle.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, put 1/4 teaspoon oil in the pan and lay pitas out on the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden on the bottom. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown. Place in bowl and cover with a clean towel to keep warm while cooking other pitas.
