Instructions

Preparation Steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, dissolve 1 package of dry yeast in 300 milliliters of warm water. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil, and mix. Gradually add 550 grams of all-purpose flour and knead the dough well. Then let it rise in a bowl covered with a cloth for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

  2. Form the Pita

    Divide the dough into 12 equal balls and roll them out into discs that are not too thin (24 cm in diameter).

  3. Cook the Pita

    Place one disc on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Then flip the disc and microwave for another 30 seconds at the same power. Repeat the same procedure with the remaining discs.

  4. Serve or Toast

    Serve immediately or toast by scoring the surfaces of the bread, seasoning to taste, and microwaving on high for 1 minute at a time until crispy (about 2 to 3 minutes).
