5. Apply oil and place in a covered bowl to proof for 2 hours.
6. Divide the dough into roundels and roll out the pita as thin as possible.
7. Rest the pita covered for 10 mins.
8. Cook the pita on a medium-low tava, flipping them twice.

Cooking Tips:
1. The dough must be slightly sticky.
2. Proofing for 2 hours then rest after rolling is essential.
3. Cooking on a medium-high flame is the key to a puffed pita without getting too dark.
4. Press gently with the spatula to aid the inflation.
