Ingredients

25 mins
8 servings
  1. 3 cupKing Arthur All Purpose flour
  2. 2 tspinstant yeast
  3. 2 tspsugar
  4. 1 1/2 tspsalt
  5. 1 cupwarm water
  6. 2 tbspolive oil or veg oil

Cooking Instructions

25 mins
  1. 1

    Combine all ingredients, making a shaggy dough.

  2. 2

    Knead the dough 10 min if by hand, 5 if by mixer, and the regular cycle if in a bread machine.

  3. 3

    Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Let sit for an hour.

  4. 4

    Place dough on a lightly greased work area. Divide dough into 8 pieces.

  5. 5

    Preheat oven to 500°F. Make sure you have 1 rack at the very bottom of your oven and one in the middle.

  6. 6

    Roll out 2 to 4 pieces from the 8 into 6 in rounds. Place the flattened dough onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Probably will hold 4.

  7. 7

    Place on bottom rack in oven for 5 min. Then place on middle rack for 2min. This is to brown the pitas. After 5 min, you should see the pitas beging to bubble or begin to pocket.

  8. 8

    If your pitas have not pocketed after 5 min, you need to turn the heat up for the next batch.

  9. 9

    After the 7 min is over, take pitas out and place in a clean dish towel. It keeps them moist. I just placed mine in a bowl and covered with a dish towel.

  10. 10

    Repeat steps 6 thru 9 for last batch.

  11. 11

    Store pitas in an air tight container or plastic bag.
