How to Make Pita Pocket Bread Bread Machine
- 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.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- **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.
- **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.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
- Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin. For extra soft pita, let the circles rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- 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!
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before filling with your favorite ingredients.
