Cooking

Dissolve the sugar and dry yeast in warm water, leave for 10 minutes until frothy.
In a deep bowl, mix flour and salt, add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Knead a soft, elastic dough for about 8-10 minutes.
Grease a bowl with oil, place the dough, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.
Preheat the oven along with a baking sheet to 230–250°C.
Punch down the dough, divide into 6 equal parts and form balls. Let them rest for 10 minutes under a towel.
Roll out each ball into a round flatbread approximately 4-5 mm thick.
Place the flatbreads on the hot baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes until the pitas puff up like balloons and lightly brown.
Remove the finished pitas and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft.
