Fresh Pita!

Making your own pita at home is very simple and it's comes out warm and fluffy... you'll never want to go back to store-bought! Originally discovered this recipe from FromMeToYou, a photographer who is also a fantastic cook.

Ingredients:3 cups flour
1 1/2 Tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1 packet of yeast
1 1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together except 1 Tbsp of the oil. Knead for about 10 minutes (I know... your hands are gonna get really tired by about 5 minutes). Cover and leave dough in the warmest spot in your kitchen to rise for 90 minutes. 

After dough has risen, cut into 8 pieces on a lightly floured surface. Roll each into a ball and lightly dust with flour.  Cover with a damp towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 400° F, with a sheet pan or pizza stone preheating inside. Flatten balls to about 1/4" thickness. Put pita shaped dough onto heated sheet pan and bake for 5-10 minutes. That's it!
