Add the Greek yogurt to a large mixing bowl and gradually add the flour, mixing with a wooden spoon until a ball starts to form.

1

Pour the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough on the floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth, then form into a ball.

2

Clean the mixing bowl and place the dough ball into it covered with a towel or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rest in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes.

3

Remove the dough from the bowl and cut it into 6 individual pieces. Roll the dough balls using a rolling pin on the work surface with the remaining flour.

4

For the best results, roll the dough balls out as thin as possible as they will rise during cooking.

5

Heat a large cast-iron skillet on medium heat with a spoonful of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the flattened dough (cooking one at a time) into the hot skillet.

6

Watch the dough rise instantly as it cooks. Cook for 2 minutes on either side, then transfer the pita bread to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining dough.

7

Serve the warm pita with your favorite dipping, and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

Bake the flattened dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 8-10 minutes, then remove as soon as they start to puff out and color slightly.

01

If you have a bread machine with a dough hook attachment, it will mix and knead the dough perfectly.

02

For the best puffy pita bread, don't move them around during cooking.
