Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 cup milk about 105-110 ℉
- ½ cup water about 105-110 ℉
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the flour, instant yeast, milk, water, olive oil, sugar and salt. Knead until the dough is smooth and bounces back when you poke it. You can also use a stand mixer to make the dough.
- Cover and let it rise for 1 hour. After one hour, deflate the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide into 8 pieces and let them sit for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place a baking sheet upside down in the oven. You can also use a pizza stone. Make sure the oven is completely heated.
- Roll out the dough balls and bake on the baking sheet for 2 minutes on one side and a minute on the other.
- Let them cool in a towel so they stay soft.
Notes
- Moist Dough: Aim for a smooth, slightly sticky dough to ensure proper puffing. High moisture content helps create the characteristic pocket inside the bread during baking.
- Proper Oven Preheat: Make sure your oven is thoroughly preheated to at least 450°F. A very hot oven is crucial for the bread to puff up correctly. If the pitas aren't puffing, give the oven time to regain its heat.
- Avoid Over-Kneading: Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic but not overly worked. Over-kneading can result in tough, rather than soft and tender, bread.
- Monitor Baking Time: Pita bread cooks very quickly. Bake each side for about 2 minutes on one side and 1 minute on the other. Be careful not to overbake, as this can dry out the bread.
- Cooling: Let the baked pitas cool wrapped in a towel. This helps retain moisture, keeping the bread soft and tender.
