Greek Pita Bread Recipe
  1. Put the flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a bowl (or a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook). Mix together to combine.

  2. Add the water, yogurt and olive oil. Mix together with a spoon and once the dough comes together use your hands to knead in the bowl until well combined. Mix for 5 minutes in a stand mixer until dough forms a ball around the blade and becomes elastic.

  3. Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise for an hour in a warm spot.

  4. Tip the dough onto a well-floured tabletop. Briefly knead and form into a log. Cut into six equal portions. Keep any dough you are not using covered with a damp cloth.

  5. Roll each portion out, adding more flour if the dough is sticky. Keep the pitas separated by greaseproof paper and covered with a damp cloth once rolled out.

  6. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and wipe with a little olive oil. Cook the pita over high heat, for a couple of minutes per side until nicely coloured. Keep warm or pan fry/grill to reheat before serving.
