Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add Greek yogurt and warm water, stirring until a rough dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
4. Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
5. Divide dough into 6–8 pieces, roll into balls, and flatten to 1/4-inch rounds.
6. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with olive oil.
7. Cook each pita 1–2 minutes per side until golden with brown spots.
8. Stack cooked pitas and wrap in a clean towel to keep soft.
Notes
Let the dough rest before rolling to improve softness.
Don’t skip preheating the skillet—it ensures those golden spots.
Use parchment between frozen pitas to avoid sticking.
