Homemade Pita Bread That Stuffs Like a Dream!

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow to froth for about 5-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough by hand or using a mixer for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours.

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6-8 pieces, rolling each into discs about 1/4 inch thick.

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each disc for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form.

Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until slightly puffed and golden brown.

Wrap the freshly made pitas in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
