Pita Bread

In your mixing bowl, add 200 g of flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix these together until well combined.

To the dry ingredients, add 180 g of yogurt and 1 tsp of olive oil. Use your wooden spoon or spatula to mix everything together until it starts to form a dough.

Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as you knead.

Place the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.

After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized portions. The number of portions depends on how large or small you want your pitas to be. On a floured surface, roll out each portion into a circle about 7-8 mm thick.

Heat your non-stick frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place one rolled-out dough circle in the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. The pita should puff up, creating the pocket. Wrap the cooked pita in a kitchen towel to keep it warm while you cook the rest.

Your homemade pita bread is ready to be served. Enjoy it with your favorite dips, fillings, or as a side to any meal.
