1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
3
Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
4
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
5
Let Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

6
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or an inverted baking sheet inside to heat.
7
Divide the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces.
8
Shape Pita Rounds
Roll each piece into a ball and then use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
9
Bake the Pita
Carefully transfer the rolled pita rounds onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until they puff up and turn lightly golden.
10
Cool the Pita
Remove the baked pita from the oven and place them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the baking process with the remaining pita rounds.
