Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Use a spoon or your hands to mix until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes soft and smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter. Keep the surface floured to prevent sticking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out circle of dough into the skillet.
Cook the pita for 1-2 minutes on the first side until bubbles start to form and the underside is golden. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and slightly puffy.
Remove the cooked pita from the skillet and place it on a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining dough.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough circles.
Serve the warm pita bread immediately with your favorite fillings or dips, or store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
