Instructions

  1. In a large bowl add the flour and yeast and whisk together. Add the salt, whisk and then add the sugar and whisk together again. Pour in the warm water and use a wooden spoon to gently mix together until you have a shaggy dough.
  2. Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is more smooth and elastic (it might still be a little tacky / sticky, that’s ok). Shape the dough into a ball and place into a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  3. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and form each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out into 9 inch circles.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and when hot, add one pita to the pan and cook on one side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side. Flip and cook for another 1 minute and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Flip and cook for another 1 minute. Cook for 1 more minute, flipping every 30 seconds. You'll cook each pita for 6-7 minutes total. The pita should be a deep golden brown when done. Set aside and repeat until all pita dough is cooked.Use these pitas to make our Grilled Chicken Gyros
