Soft, fluffy, and perfectly pocketed homemade pita bread that is so far superior to anything from a store – this easy dough comes together quickly and bakes in just 4 minutes at high heat 💛
What’s inside:
1. Simple yeast dough with flour + salt + olive oil
2. Whole milk for extra softness
3. Active dry yeast for that perfect puff
4. Ready to fill with anything you love
How to make it:
– Activate yeast in lukewarm water + milk + sugar → wait for puffy cloud 8 mins
– Add flour + salt + olive oil → knead on low for 12 mins until smooth
– Rise in oiled bowl until doubled → about 1 hour
– Cut into 10 portions → roll out into 6-7 inch circles → place on parchment lined trays
– Cover → rest 30 mins
– Bake at 525F for 4 mins until pitas balloon and puff up
– Transfer to plate immediately → serve warm or store in freezer up to 3 months
Pillowy soft, perfectly pocketed, and so much better than store-bought – fill them with anything and everything ✨
Stuff with gyro meat, grilled chicken, falafel, or serve alongside tzatziki and fresh dips.

Like the recipe but I'm going to cook on the stovetop. I dont understand using the air fryer for that. Thanks for the good recipe
Better on the pan with olive oil 🙂
