How to Make Pita Pocket Bread Bread Machine

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. **Bread Machine Method:** Place the dough in your bread machine, selecting the dough cycle. Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough and proceed to step 6.
  4. **Oven Method:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
  6. Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin. For extra soft pita, let the circles rest for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  8. Cook each pita for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and puffed up. You should see them puff significantly as they cook!
  9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before filling with your favorite ingredients.
