Makes 8-10 pitas:
2 cups lukewarm water
2 and ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ cup lukewarm milk
2 tablespoons yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups (740 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
Add the salt and flour to a large bowl. Do not whisk together yet.
Place the water, milk, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a tabletop mixer. Add a half cup of flour and whisk together. Set aside for 10 minutes so that the yeast activates. It is active when a foamy cloud appears on top of the liquid.
Whisk together the flour and salt.
Once the yeast is activated add the yogurt, oil, and flour mixture. Knead together on low speed for 8 minutes then, increase the speed to medium and knead for 2 more minutes.
Transfer the dough (it will be very sticky) to a large bowl that has been greased with a few tablespoons of oil. Toss the dough in the bowl to coat with oil and cover with plastic wrap. Set the bowl aside for 45 minutes to one hour or until the dough has doubled in volume.
Preheat the oven to 525 °F, 275 °C.
Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the dough on top. Dust with some flour and roll it around so that it is easy to handle, and the top is no longer sticky. The inside will still be sticky. Take care not to add too much flour or the pitas will be dry.
Cut the dough into 8-10 equal pieces and roll them into rounds. Use as little flour as possible.
Clean the work surface and add rub some olive oil on it and on your hands. This will make the dough easy to handle.
Use a rolling pin or your hands to form each portion of dough into rounds.
Line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper and transfer the pitas onto the trays.
Bake for about 6 minutes or until the top of the pitas develop some color or golden spots. For the final minute of baking, you may place the tray under the broiler element to develop more color. Keep a close eye on it so that the pitas do not burn or over bake.
Transfer the pitas to a plate/tray and serve warm.
Notes: The dough can also be made without a mixer by using a large bowl and a wooden spatula. Then, knead with your hands (slightly oiled).
The cooked pitas can be stored in a freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them and warm through before serving.

I made the pitas, the gyro, and the tzatziki sauce for my family. They loved it. Wrecked my whole kitchen but it was worth it. Thank you so much. Everything came perfect.
Wrecked the whole kitchen lol. True facts.
Wow! Wish I could make a giant one and wrap myself in it and take a nap and then wake up and eat my way through it😋🥰 thank you for showing us wonderful treats again though I know you are tasting the benefits
Lol 😂❤
Chihuahua Mama So funny! 🌻

This is by far one of the best pita bread recipes that I have made and it is the go to recipe for me. I cook them on a cast iron griddle on Sunday, then use them during the week...for mainly pita pizza, they are a fabulous pizza dough recipe!
Your cooking always reminds me of my mum cooking things in her lifetime a long time ago. She was from a Greek island in the north east of the Aegean. Greetings to all from Melbourne Australia.🇬🇷🇭🇲🇺🇲🇬🇷👍
I vacationed on Kos back in the 80s. I so miss that time. Greeks are so warm and friendly...there love for life is infectious
I made these today and let me tell you best ever. I put my own touch to them and added fetta cheese to the dough and they were amazing. Lots of compliments to Dimitras recipes they’re a huge hit with my family I have made heaps of her recipes and they’re the best !

Made these today and this recipe is now in my Tested and approved recipes Playlist. Very good! Had them with humus and will make sabich with the left over breads later!
I have made your gyro, tzatziki, and flatbread three times now. It’s nothing short of perfection. Thank you.
Thank you, I made this 2 nights ago and they were delicious! I followed your recipe but cooked it on the stove 2 minutes on each sides, also formed the dough in between saran wrap using cooking spray, my family loved them!

Thank you, looks very good!
Ygbu
Looks great thanks
This recipe is amazing! I wanted to share that I used Einkorn All Purpose flour and they came out perfect! Thank you …thank you for the recipe ❤
Doin it! I’ll be making these and some dips tomorrow. I should know better than to watch your videos while laying in bed at night lmao. Thank you, can’t wait x.
Beautiful! I haven’t been able to find yeast in my area to save my life, but I’ll try this recipe when I do. I’ve been making a three-ingredient flatbread with yogurt, flour and baking powder instead. It tastes amazing with Dimitra’s eggplant and hummus dip recipes, if anyone else is having trouble finding yeast.
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup flour, plus extra
Mix together ingredients until they form a soft dough, adding more flour as necessary. Portion 6-8 pieces, roll each piece into a flat round, brush one side with melted butter that has grated garlic in it, and fry them in a pan on each side until brown. Brush with more garlic butter if you want!
Hally M it’s available on amazon
It was the same here at the beginning of the COVID closings. Evidently everyone decided they needed to make home made bread. LOL As of now, over a year later, they are over the urge. Yeast on the shelves again. LOL
I made this yesterday for some homemade gyros. They turned out really soft and fluffy with beautiful char marks since I cooked them on my cast iron pan rather than use my oven. I rolled them out into even circles using a small pizza dough roller and a single piece of greased, round 9" parchment paper which I used to make them easier to transfer onto the pan. So far my favorite of all the pita bread / flatbread recipes I've tried. Thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful!
Super thanks for sharing
I made these today for souvlaki and they were amazing. Very messy kitchen after, but I’ll get better at doing this. I had enough to freeze for later. Thank you Dimitra! 🫓💕
I like the idea of making these instead of the traditional Breads and the summer because it doesn't heat up the house. The oven just needs to be on a short time. I'm going to make these they look delicious.
Καλησπέρα Δήμητρα! Πολλά φιλιά από το Πανόραμα Θεσσαλονίκης! Συγχαρητήρια για τις όμορφες συνταγές σου 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰
Gotta try to make this for this weekend...plus something else Greek on the side. 🔥🔥
I "accidentally" made some pitta bread with some leftover dough I had made for pizza and they tasted awesome. Will try your gyros recipe around Friday or Saturday!
Didn't put milk in the dough I made today (fermenting in the fridge) but I do like to add oregano on the pitta right before I cook it.
Looks delicious
Thank you 😋
Thank You for the recipe❤️🇨🇦❤️🤗
Yum 😋 thanks for sharing
Delicious 👍
Hi, I am from the southern part of India. I’ve been searching for a traditional bread recipe. That's how it got here. Thanks for fixing the problem of flour shrinking. Problems with flour shrinkage also faces when the making porotta 👍🔔
Δήμητρα τώρα. Σε. Βρήκα Σε παρακαλω. Μπόρις να μου. Γραψης. Την. Σηνταγη για πίτα πακέτ σε ευχαρηστο
Very yummy😋 Bravo 👏👏👏❤
You’re my angel indeed 🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️😘😘😘love you !!!
Thankyou very much for putting your beautiful easy recipes online, i must add tho.. I do hate it when you do the taste test 😁😁 and then I go to your youtube page and look at all the other food.. your recipes are amazing....
Good job😋

Γεια σου Δήμητρα οι πίτες σου φαίνονται υπέροχες, θα τις φτιάξω κι εγώ.χαιρετισμούς από την Κρήτη.
nice job Dimitra
I made some today and love them !Thank you so much. I just came upon your site and plan on doing alot of your recipes.
ingredients
This is lovely I am biracial from an anglo indian background will use for our Kathi kebab xo
Btw.....I made your "pocket" Pita bread.....my husband is in love....lol. Thank you!
Oh...another hint: lightly dust the top of your sticky dough before covering it with plastic, so it won't stick to the plastic after proofing/rising.
I tried and the bread is super soft
Super!
oh my God! Sooo beautiful!!! Such a great, warm presentation. Perfect recipe. First time in the channel. Send tons of love from Greece!!!
Good morning Dimitra I’m so excited I’ll be making some pita today I have cousins coming over
Kathy A Awwww...I hope the pitas turned out delicious and that you had a happy time with your cousins.
We made this recipe three times now. It is by far our favorite flatbread, and the only one we will make from now on. We use a cast iron skillet instead of the oven to keep the house cool-and it is very easy...especially if you have one person flattening and the other frying them. Thank you very much for sharing this tutorial!
Great to hear!
@@DimitrasDishes OK, make that four times. We make falafel gyros
(not powdered mix either!) and no other bread will do them honor.
Thanks again. Leftovers tomorrow!
When i make my pitas i roll them out over flour and a mix of garlic and onion and thyme and oregano. They are so good...❤🇨🇦❤
From David 🇨🇦 subscriber. You may not see this comment but just in case I want to let you know that these pita bread turned out perfect👍👍. We will have them tomorrow with your Greek leg of lamb and tiziki? Thank you so much and love your recipes.
How in the world did you stay so clean during that process!?!? I will be making your Pitas, Tzatziki and gyros today!
Going to try this with gluten free all purpose flour, for my husband. I hope i can get it to work!
You are so right ... 3:15 ... We could not find flour (especially bread flour) during that past period. We were cooking at home a lot, and we couldn't even find ANY YEAST. It was BAD. But, it's better now. It's around end of September 2020, so I think that the Supplies have increased now, Dimitra. But, yeah, we live in Houston too, and it was super bad there for a while -- if you wanted to cook at home.
Love you Demi
AMAZING PITA BREAD 🍞 THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
Yummy 😋
I so wish I liked to cook! I find your classes and dishes so scrumptious, I think a goal will be to at least try to get through one of your recipes, must be my mental block :-( have not used my oven in two years since I singed my lashes lighting it, and no parchment to be found in the southern hill city of san Cristobal de las casas, Mexico.
yum sharing is caring
Oooooo😮! It looks so soft and delicious, yum😋💫👌✨🙌💕!
Really impressed you didn’t get any flour on your shirt. Thx for sharing the recipe!
Reminds me of my cousin TJ's food
Did you say Houston?-Im from there. I’m making these later God willing. Thanks for you videos.
