Super-Soft Pita Bread

From Delicious Gatherings by Tara Teaspoon
Makes 10 pitas Work Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes

INGREDIENTS

¾ cup warm water
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the bowl
¾ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 package (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour (384 g), plus more for dusting
1½ teaspoons fine salt

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine water, olive oil, and yogurt. Add yeast, sugar, flour, and salt, and mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook to combine.

2. Knead either in the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment or on a clean work surface, adding more flour if needed, until dough is soft and slightly sticky (4 to 5 minutes in a mixer, 7 to 10 minutes by hand).

3. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 45 to 50 minutes.

4. Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and divide into 10 equal balls, almost 3 ounces each. Cover and let rise an additional 20 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, heat oven to 475°F with the rack in the lower third. Line two baking sheets with parchment.

6. On a floured work surface, roll balls into circles that are 7 inches in diameter and ¹⁄8-inch thick (or 5-inch circles ¼-inch thick for mini pitas). Place on baking sheets an inch apart.

7. Bake, one sheet at a time, until puffy and lightly browned on top. Begin checking at 5 minutes. I bake them for 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pan after 5 minutes if one side of the sheet is puffing up more than the other.

8. Transfer pitas to a wire rack to cool. Serve or cool and store in an airtight container up to a day. To warm pitas, wrap in foil and place in a 325°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
