Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Pita
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Warm up ¾ cup of milk and ½ cup of water until it’s just above body temperature, then gradually add this to your dry mixture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the blended dough and begin to knead it on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes.
- Grease a clean bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, cover it tightly, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Once risen, punch down the dough gently, dust your work surface with flour, and divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Preheat a cast iron pan or non-stick skillet over high heat, brush it with olive oil and place a pita in the pan.
- For an extra touch of flavor, melt some butter mixed with minced garlic and fresh herbs, then drizzle over the warm pita.

Notes
Store leftover pitas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To restore softness, warm them gently in the oven.
