Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (120g)
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast (8g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (6g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • 1 cup warm water (240ml)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix warm water and olive oil.
  3. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into six equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then roll out into circles about ¼ inch thick.
  7. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each pita for 1-2 minutes on each side until puffed and lightly browned.
  8. Remove the cooked pitas from the skillet and wrap them in a kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
