For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Ensure your yeast is active for optimal rise. If unsure, proof it in the warm milk with a pinch of sugar for 5-10 minutes before adding to the dry ingredients. Don't skip the rising time! This allows the dough to develop the necessary structure and achieve that characteristic pita pocket. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can still bake the pitas directly on the baking sheet. Just ensure the baking sheet is preheated along with the oven. Adjust baking time based on your oven. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Mar 31, 2025The rising time is crucial. I tried to rush it once, and the pitas didn't puff up properly.
