Recipe:
Ingredients:
1¼ (300ml) water
3/4 tablespoon (7g) Instant dry yeast
1 tablespoon (14g) sugar
500g Bread flour
1½ teaspoons Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
1. Sift the flour into the mixer bowl. Add the dry yeast, sugar, and salt, and mix well.
2. Add the olive oil and water. Start mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms, about 10 minutes. If you have a stand mixer, this process will be much easier.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and leave to rise for about an hour or until it doubles in volume.
5. Punch the dough to release the air and divide it into 8 equal parts, about 100g each. Roll them into balls.
6. Place the dough balls on a large tray or floured surface and cover with a towel to rise again for 15-20 minutes.
7. Heat a cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
8. Roll the dough balls into 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick circles. Place one pita at a time in the hot pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until puffed and golden spots appear.
10. Immediately cover the pitas with a towel to create a steamy environment. They must be covered all the time to prevent drying out. The pitas soften after cooling and are at their best the day they are baked.
