Soft pitas that puff dramatically in a hot oven to create perfect pockets for stuffing.

Instructions

  1. Combine the water, yeast, and sugar; add the oil, flours, and salt. Knead 7 minutes.
  2. Rise 1 hour until doubled. Place a baking steel or sheet in the oven and preheat to 475°F.
  3. Divide into 8 balls, rest 10 minutes, and roll into 6-inch rounds about ¼-inch thick.
  4. Bake 2–3 at a time directly on the hot steel for 4–5 minutes, until puffed and just barely colored.
  5. Stack in a towel to keep them soft.

Baker's tip

Roll evenly with no thin spots; that's what makes them puff.
