Homemade Pita Bread

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups water, warm
• 1 packet Red Star Platinum Yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 4 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, pour the water and sugar. Mix to dissolve the sugar then top with the Red Star Platinum Yeast. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, until foamy. Add in the flour, salt, and olive oil. Once the dough comes together knead on a slow speed for 5 minutes. Remove from the mixer, top with a drizzle of olive oil, cover with a linen towel. Place the bowl in a warm spot and allow to rise for an hour, until doubled in size.
2. Preheat oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit with a pizza stone on the top rack. Once at temperature, turn on the broil setting.
3. Divide the dough into 6 balls. Roll each in to a 7 inch disk. Transfer one at a time into oven on a pizza stone. Right before closing oven pour a cup of water on the bottom of the oven.
4. Bake for 2 minutes until the pita puffs up and begins to brown.
