Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Creates a soft, tender texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the bread rise and form pockets.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavors and balances sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds moisture and a delightful tang.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently with a whisk until evenly distributed.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt into the bowl and mix until it starts to form a dough. Add a little extra flour if too sticky, kneading gently.
  3. Transfer the smooth dough ball to a floured surface and divide it into six equal pieces.
Shaping Pitas
  1. Roll each dough piece into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one rolled-out pita into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. Optionally, brush the warm pitas with melted butter or rub with a garlic clove, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for flavor.

Notes

Keep pitas warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve. Feel free to add herbs or spices for variation.
