Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
½ kg plain white flour suitable for bread
40g fresh yeast
80ml olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Dissolve the yeast in a cup of tepid water.

Take 1 cup of the flour and in a bowl, mix it well with the dissolved yeast and the sugar.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and set aside in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.

Put the rest of the flour in a larger bowl, along with the salt and oil.

Add the yeast mixture, which should have bubbles and be double its original size.

Add enough tepid water to make a pliable, non-sticky dough.

Knead very well for at least 10 minutes on a flat surface.

Put the dough in a bowl and cover it with cling film and a cloth on top of that.

Set aside in a warm place for at least 1 hour until it has doubled in size.

Gently cut the dough into 10 equal pieces.

Gently roll out the pieces into circular shapes, about 20cm in diameter.

Brush the surface of a non-stick frying pan with some olive oil and warm the pan.

Take one of the 10 pittas and make small indentations with a fork all over on both sides.

Keeping the pan at a moderate heat, place the pitta in it and leave it for approx. 2 minutes until it starts bubbling and then turn it over and repeat for the other side.

Repeat this process for each of the remaining pittas.
