2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until foamy.
2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
4. Place in a bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size.
5. Divide dough into small portions and roll into flat rounds.
6. Heat a skillet and cook each pita until puffed and golden on both sides.
Notes

Cook on a hot skillet to help the pita puff up nicely.
