Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Instant yeast
- 2 cups Warm water
- 5 cups Bread flour
- 1 tbsp Sea salt
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- In a large stand mixer, combine the sugar, instant yeast, and warm water.
- Allow to rest for a few minutes to activate the yeast.
- Add the bread flour, sea salt, and olive oil.
- Using the dough hook, knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer, lightly coat the dough ball with oil, cover with a tea towel, and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Separate the dough into 20 pieces. I usually weigh the dough and divide by 20 to get more equally sized pitas.
- Roll each portion of dough into a ball and place them onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Cover with a tea towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly dust a work surface and rolling pin. Roll the dough balls out to about 6-inches in diameter.
- Place the dough onto the griddle and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. A side is finished cooking when little brown spots form. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Place finished pitas stacked on a plate.
