Recipe 117- Greek pita bread

Good morning!
This is the first step to GREEK SOUVLAKI.

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying

In a big bowl mix together the water, sugar and yeast. Add the salt and gradually add the flour and oil.
Knead well until you have a smooth dough.
Make 12 small balls and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour. Take each ball and punch it down stretching it from the center outwards. You should have a round flat pitta.
Preheat the oil in a pan and fry each pitta for 1 min each side, or until slightly brown.
They are ready to use.
