How to make Arabic Bread

Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and allow it to sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Step 2
Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 428°F (220°C) and place a baking stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Step 6
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Step 7
Roll out each ball into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 8
Place on the preheated baking surface and bake for 6-10 minutes until the pitas are puffed and light golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft.
