Making the Pita Bread
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt until fully combined.
- Add the warm milk and warm water to the dry mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Incorporate the olive oil, transfer the dough to a floured surface, and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Lightly oil a bowl, place the kneaded dough, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface, divide into 8 pieces, roll each piece into a ball, and flatten into disks.
- Preheat a skillet over high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and cook each pita for about 1 minute on each side.
- Remove pitas from the skillet and keep covered with a kitchen towel to maintain softness.
