Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast -- (1 1/4-oz envelope)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour -- plus more for surface
2 tablespoons olive oil -- plus more
Because this dough has a relatively short rising time, it can be made
while you prep your dinner main. Bake the pita in the oven while
you're, say, reducing a lamb braising liquid on the stove-top; the
timing will come out perfectly.
Makes eight 6" pitas
Combine yeast and 1 1/3 cups warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer
and let sit until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix salt and 3 1/2 cups
flour in a medium bowl, then add to yeast mixture along with 2
tablespoons oil. Mix on medium speed until dough comes together and
slaps the side of the bowl while mixing. (Alternatively, this step
can be done in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon and some elbow grease.)
Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface (dough is fairly sticky)
and knead until smooth and elastic, 10 to 12 minutes. Place dough in
a well-oiled bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm,
draft-free area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Heat oven to 350F. Punch down
dough and divide into 8 pieces. Cupping your hand over and using your
palm, roll each piece of dough into a ball. With lightly floured
hands, stretch into 6" rounds, transferring to a lightly floured
baking sheet as you go.
Lightly brush each pita with oil and grill, turning once, just until
grill marks form, about 1 minute per side. (Alternatively, you can
cook in a skillet over medium-high heat, about 1 minute per side.)
Return pitas to baking sheet and bake in the oven until puffed and
cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
