How to Make Fluffy Greek Pita
- In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. In a separate small bowl, combine lukewarm milk and yeast, letting it sit until foamy (2-3 minutes).
- Stir the yeast mixture into the flour mixture until a shaggy dough forms. Add olive oil and combine well to bring your dough together.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled.
- Once risen, punch down the dough, divide it into 8 equal pieces, and shape them into balls. Roll each ball into circles about 7-8 inches in diameter.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Cook each pita for 1-2 minutes on one side until puffed and golden, then flip and repeat.
- Brush warm pitas with garlic butter for extra flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes
Store in airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze with parchment paper between each pita.
