INGREDIENTS FOR YIELDS
3½ cups (490g) all-purpose flour
1½ tbsp active-dry yeast
1+1/3 cups (320ml) warm water
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, mix yeast, sugar, and ⅓ cup of warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour with salt. Add olive oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 6-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour; if too dry, add a bit of water.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently push the air out, and divide it into 10 equal pieces (about 3 oz/85g each). Roll each piece into a smooth ball, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with the baking tray inside.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a 6-inch (15cm) circle. Set aside on a lightly floured countertop, cover with a towel, and let pitas rest for about 10-15 minutes.
Bake the pitas for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover immediately with a towel. Store in a closed bag.
