Ingredients
- 3 cup bread flour
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 6 tbsp warm whole milk
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast until evenly distributed.
- 2Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water, warm whole milk, and olive oil.
- 3Stir with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
- 4Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticks to your hands.
- 5Form the dough into a ball, lightly coat it with olive oil, place it back in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 10 minutes, or until slightly puffed.
- 6Punch down the risen dough to release air, then divide it into 8 equal pieces (about 60 g each).
- 7Roll each piece into a smooth ball, then flatten with a rolling pin to a ¼‑inch thick circle, roughly 6‑7 inches in diameter.
- 8Preheat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F / 347°F). Lightly brush the surface with a tiny amount of oil if desired.
- 9Place one pita circle onto the hot skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes until the underside shows golden brown spots and the surface begins to puff.
- 10Flip the pita and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage puffing.
- 11Transfer the cooked pita to a clean kitchen towel, cover loosely to keep warm and allow it to finish puffing for a minute.
- 12Repeat the cooking process with the remaining pita circles, adjusting heat as needed to avoid burning.
- 13Serve the warm pitas immediately with tzatziki, ranch dressing, or your favorite dip.
