Prep Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 136kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Warm water
  • 1/2 tsp Instant yeast
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour plus more for shaping
  • 1/2 tsp Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast, stir until dissolved. Mix the flour and sugar in a bowl. Combine the water/yeast and flour with a wooden spoon until a shaggy mass forms. Mix in the oil and salt.
  • Lightly dust a clean surface with some flour and knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, adding more flour if the dough is too sticky. Dough should be soft and moist. Place in a bowl and cover with a towel. Leave in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place a pizza stone or large cast-iron skillet in your oven to preheat it.
  • Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the dough into about a ¼”-thick circle about 8” wide, sprinkling dough with extra flour if it starts to stick.
    (Divide the dough into portions if needed before rolling it out so that it isn't too large for the skillet or pizza stone).
  • Working as quickly as possible, open your oven and place as many pitas that will fit on your skillet or stone without touching. Bake until an air pocket balloons and the pita begins to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining rounds.
  • Drizzle with a small amount of oil and season with salt and pepper before cutting into wedges. Serve warm or room temperature as desired.
