Homemade Pita Bread
Four minutes in the oven is all that it takes. My Pita Bread recipe is very easy to make, a yeast-leavened flatbread originating in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries dating back over 4000 years!

Ingredients
- 1 Cup Warm Water 110F
- 2 Teaspoons Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer with a hook attachment, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in the mixing bowl, let the yeast activate for 10 minutes. It should be foamy
- Add all remaining ingredients and turn the machine on the lowest speed for 5 minutes
- If the mixture looks dry, add 1 tablespoon of water, the dough should be smooth but not sticky
- Coat the inside of a large bowl with a little olive oil, place the dough in it. Place in a warm location, cover loosely and let rise until doubled in volume, about one hour
- Place the pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 475F. The pizza stone needs to be very hot, so let it preheat for at least 30-45 minutes prior to baking.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, for the pieces into nice round balls, roll each piece into a 6-inch round disc
- Place the 2 pieces at a time onto the pizza stone, bake for 3-4 minutes
