Ingredients:
315 grams (2.5 cups) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
200 ml (3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) warm water (about 110°F or 45°C)
Instructions:
Prepare the yeast mixture:
Dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Make the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until the dough comes together.

Knead the dough:
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rise:
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat it with oil. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the pita breads:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to heat. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 7 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and roll out to a 1/4 inch thick circle on a floured surface.

Bake the pita breads:
Place the rolled-out dough on the preheated baking stone or baking sheet and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the pitas puff up and are lightly golden. Remove and wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.

Serve and enjoy:
Let the pita breads cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature with your favorite fillings or dips.
