How to Make Sourdough Pita Bread
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1/4 cup olive oil and your sourdough starter (see note below). Gradually add 1 1/2 to 2 cups warm water, 2-3 tablespoons at a time, kneading until the dough is soft and elastic (about 8-10 minutes).
- Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (approximately 2-4 hours, depending on starter activity).
- Gently punch down the dough. Take a lemon-sized (approximately 2 ounces) portion of dough and roll it into a 6-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place a pita on the hot griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until puffed and lightly browned. Watch carefully as they puff up quickly!
- Remove from griddle and let cool slightly before filling and enjoying! Serve warm.
