How To make Basic Pita
2 c Warm water (90 to 100
-degrees F.) 2 Envelopes active dry yeast
1/2 ts Sugar
2 ts Salt
5 To 5 1/2 cups unbleached
-all-purpose flour, plus -flour for kneading Pour the water into a large bowl, sprinkle in the yeast and stir to dissolve. Stir the sugar and salt into the yeast mixture thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Gradually add 5 cups of the flour, stirring constantly until the dough is smooth. Slowly work in the remaining flour with your hands, kneading until the dough is no longer sticky. Turn the dough out onto a well floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape the dough into an even rectangle and cut in half, lengthwise. Divide each half into 12 portions for small pitas, 6 for larger ones. Shape each into a smooth ball. Place balls on a floured surface and cover them with a slightly damp towel while you roll out one at a time. Gently press each ball flat with your fingers, keeping it well rounded. Flour a work surface and a rolling pin. Roll each round from the center to the outside edge, giving the dough a 1/4 turn after each roll, to form a perfect circle not quite 1/4-inch thick (5 to 5 1/2 inches in diameter for small pitas; about 8 1/2 inches for larger ones). Carefully flip the circles over to smooth out any creases that might prevent the pockets from forming. Fifteen minutes before the loaves have finished rising, preheat the oven to 500F and place an ungreased baking sheet in the oven to heat. As each bread is rolled, place it carefully on a floured surface and cover with a clean, dry towel; do not let the surfaces dry out, and let rise in a warm, draft-free area for 30 to 45 minutes. To bake, place 4 small pitas or I large one on the hot baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven until puffed and lightly browned on the bottom, almost white on top, about 4 minutes for small pitas and about 3 1/2 minutes for large; the pita will be soft and flexible. If desired, flip the loaves over after they have puffed and bake for up to 1 minute longer to brown tops; be VERY careful not to let pita get crisp and brittle. Remove hot pitas from oven and wrap immediately in clean, dry towels until cool enough to handle. Serve warm or at room temperature. Repeat baking process until all breads are baked. Makes 24 small or 12 large pitas. From "Pita the Great" From the San Francisco Chronicle, 8/10/88. Posted by Stephen Ceideberg; November 10 1992.

Easy Homemade Lebanese Pita Bread Recipe
Nothing beats the taste of warm, puffy, freshly baked Lebanese pita bread. This flavorful recipe is so easy, you'll wonder why you ever settled for store-bought pita.
Lebanese Pita Bread Recipe
Prep time:
Ingredients
1 ¼ cup warm water (100-110°F) 285 milliliters
1 Tablespoon instant dry yeast 10 grams
½ teaspoon white granulated sugar 2 grams, optional
1 cup whole wheat flour 150 grams
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour 250 grams, plus more for dusting
2 Tablespoons olive oil 23 milliliters, plus more for greasing
1 teaspoon salt 7 grams
Instructions
1. Mix the dough: Pour the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar (optional) into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Stir. Add the whole wheat, all-purpose flour, salt and olive oil to the activated yeast mixture. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed for about 3 minutes. Raise the speed to medium and mix - about 3-5 minutes. The dough is done when it is smooth and elastic.
2. First proof: Using a dough scraper or your hands, scrape away the dough from the sides of the mixing bowl to form a smooth ball (seam side down). Drizzle a little olive oil on top and cover the entire surface of the dough ball including the bottom with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or silicone cover and place it in a warm spot. Let the dough rise until it doubles in size - about 1- 1 ½ hours.
3. Preheat the oven: Place a pizza stone/pizza steel/invested cast iron skillet/griddle on the middle rack. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Once the oven reaches 500°F continue to heat for 30 minutes.
4. Make the pita dough balls: Divide the dough into 8 even pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Tuck in any seams underneath the ball. Place on a baking tray with enough space for the dough to double. Brush all exposed sides with a little olive oil. Cover with a wet towel, and rest for 15 minutes.
5. Roll out the dough balls: Cut some parchment into 8 7 inch x 7 inch squares. Place a dough ball onto the parchment square. Using a flour-dusted rolling pin, toll each dough ball into a 7 inch diameter circle. Each dough circle should be about a ¼ inch thick and will just fit the parchment square. Cover the dough circle with a wet towel. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
6. Bake the pita bread:
Oven: Place 2 dough circles on the pizza stone towards the back of the oven. Bake until puffed - about 2 minutes. There is no need to flip the pita. Close the oven door and wait for 1-2 minutes for the oven to heat up again. Repeat with the remaining dough. Note: The pita will not puff up if the oven temperature drops.
Stovetop: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with olive oil. Add a rolled-out pita. Once bubbles begin to form, (about 30-40 seconds) flip the pita. The pita should fully puff up in about a minute. Flip once more and cook for even browning - about 2 minutes. Cool the pita on a wire rack and cover with a towel.
