How to Make Whole Wheat Pita
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Do not add oil.
- Cook each pita for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly puffed and just starting to lose its raw color. Do not brown.
- Remove from skillet and wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and soft.
- Serve warm with your favorite fillings!
