Method
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
- Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the rolled pitas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 5-10 minutes.
Notes
Serve warm or toasted for extra crunch. Great for stuffing with savory fillings.
