How to Make World's Greatest Pita Bread
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release the air. Return the dough to the bowl, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Gently knead the dough for a minute or two on a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 4-6 inch circle.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the rolled-out pitas on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for another 30 minutes.
- Heat a large dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Cook each pita for 1-2 minutes per side, or until puffed and lightly browned with some speckles.
- Wrap each cooked pita in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
