Ingredients
500 grams (big 3 and 3/4 cups) of flour
8 grams (2 tablespoons) of olive oil
300 grams (1 and 1/4 cup) of water
7 grams (2 teaspoons) of yeast

How to make it?
Creating homemade pita bread is a straightforward process. Begin by combining all the ingredients in a bowl except for the salt. Add the salt just before it’s done. If the dough is sticky while handling it after the kneading is done. Dust it with a bit of flour along with your hands and the countertop. Separate the dough into 6 portions (for larger pitas) or 8 portions (for smaller ones). Place baking paper on a baking tray and shape each portion into a ball, then flatten it on the tray. Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 250°C and bake the pitas for 6 minutes. Flip them and bake for an additional 4 minutes. If your oven permits, increasing the temperature slightly will shorten the baking time.
