Description
Delightfully soft and customizable Greek pitas, perfect for any meal and ideal for family cooking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for surface)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup warm milk
- ⅓ cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for the bowl and cooking)
Instructions
- Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Add the warm milk and water, stirring until the mixture comes together.
- Drizzle in the olive oil and knead the dough in the bowl for a few minutes until it forms a smooth ball.
- Lightly grease a separate bowl with olive oil. Place the dough inside, turning it to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for about an hour, or until it rises and doubles in size.
- Dust your work surface with flour. Remove the dough from the bowl and cut into 8 equal-sized pieces.
- Stretch each piece into a circle and roll out to about ¼ inch thick.
- Form each piece into a circle that is 7-8 inches wide.
- Heat a cast iron pan over high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Cook one stretched pita for about a minute, drizzling olive oil on top before flipping. Cook for another minute until golden.
Notes
Best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a pan for fresh-baked feel.
