How to make Pita Bread

Warm the water until it is lukewarm, then stir in the yeast and sugar and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Add the yeast water and olive oil to the flour and mix into a soft dough.
Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled.
Divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal balls and roll each into a round about 6 mm thick.
Rest the rounds for 5 minutes, then bake each one on a very hot tawa or in a hot oven for 1 to 2 minutes until puffed.
Stack the breads wrapped in a cloth to keep them soft.
