Ingredients

  • tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • cups Water -- warm
  • cups Flour
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt.
  • 2 tbso Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Yeast. In a large mixing bowl, combine together the warm with with a quarter cup of the flour. Then sprinkle your yeast on top of the mixture and set it aside until a foam forms (about ten minutes)
  • Dough. Once the foam has formed you can stir in the remaining flour, the salt and the olive oil. Stir until the dough gets sticky.
  • Knead. Prepare your mixer with a dough hook or dust a clean work area with flour. Then knead your dough until it is smooth and soft, about eight to 10 minutes.
  • Rise. Transfer your dough to a bowl that has been greased and then cover the bowl with a damp cloth. Place the dough in a warm location and allow it to double in size (about an hour) .
  • Prepare. Preheat your oven to 475 and place a rimmed baking sheet into the oven to warm up.
  • Form. On a lightly floured clean work space, transfer your doubled in size dough and give it a quick punch. Then separate the dough into 15 equal sized pieces.
  • Balls. Roll each of the dough pieces into a ball and then dust the entire ball with flour. Cover the dough balls with a clean dish towel and allow the balls to rest for 7 to ten minutes (this helps to relax the gluten). While your dough is resting, cut out 15 pieces of parchment paper that is a six inch square or circle.
  • Roll Out. Place each of the dough balls on a piece of the parchment paper that your just cut out. Then roll or press out each of the dough balls to a five inch circle that is about a quarter inch thick. Cover the rolled out dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rest again for another 15 minutes.
  • Bake. Carefully, transfer each of the pitas on their parchment paper to the warm baking sheet. Then bake the pitas until they are well puffed, but not turning brown (about two to three minutes).
