## Ingredients

- 3 cups bread flour
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 6 tbsp warm whole milk
- 1.5 tsp sugar
- 1.5 tsp active dry yeast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tsp salt

## Instructions

1. To a medium bowl add warm water and milk. Whisk in the sugar first and then the yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Whisk in the olive oil and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until the dough becomes more smooth and elastic.
3. Put the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
4. After the first rise, put the dough back onto a floured work surface and form the dough into a circle so you can divide it into 6 equal pieces. Form the 6 pieces of dough into circles and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Let rest covered with a tea towel for 1 more hour.
5. After the second rise, roll each dough circle into 5 inch wide circles.
6. Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet over high heat and once hot, turn to medium heat. Place a rolled-out dough round in the pan. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for 30 more seconds. Then, drizzle about 1 tbsp of olive oil on the pita (both sides). Cook for 5 more minutes, flipping every minute for a total of 6 minutes.
