Pita bread is great with many different kinds of homemade dips as well as for sandwiches. The little pockets are perfect for filling up with any of your favorite flavors.
1 Tbsp yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 tsp salt
3 - 3 1/2 cups flour
Combine the yeast and the warm water in the bowl of your stand mixer and let sit for 5 minutes. If it does not begin to bubble and foam, the yeast is dead and you will need a new batch.
Add the salt and flour. Turn on the stand mixer and let it knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If it is sticky, you can add some of the extra half cup of flour.
Divide the dough into 6-10 pieces depending on the size you want. Roll them out as thin an even as you can. If you have a tortilla press, this is a great time to use it. Let them rise on a floured surface for 35 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425F. Flip the pitas upside down onto the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and you can see them pop up!
