Ingredients

12 Minutes
8 pitas
  1. 2 tspdry yeast
  2. 1 tspsugar
  3. 1 1/3-1 1/2 cupslukewarm water
  4. 3 1/3 cupsstrong flour (about 500 grams)
  5. 1 tspsalt
  6. 2 tbspolive oil

Cooking Instructions

12 Minutes
  1. 1

    Mix the yeast with the sugar and 1/2 cup of the water and let it stand for 5 minutes to activate and foam.

  2. 2

    Mix the flour with the salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast, the oil, and another 1/2 cup of the remaining water.

  3. 3

    Knead, adding as much of the remaining water as needed until a soft, pliable dough forms that doesn't stick to your hands.

  4. 4

    Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn it to coat all sides with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 1/2 hours or until it doubles in size.

  5. 5

    Punch down the dough and shape into round pitas with a diameter of 6 inches and a thickness of 1/2 inch. Brush them well with oil and let them rise.

  6. 6

    Press the pitas with a fork, making vertical rows of fork marks.

  7. 7

    Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 5-7 minutes, until they puff up but are not fully baked. Remove from the oven and once cooled, place them in plastic bags in the freezer for later use.

  8. 8

    Thaw them, brush with oil on both sides, sprinkle with salt and oregano, and cook in a pan or on a grill.
