Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1 cup 0% or 2% plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups self-raising / self-rising flour olive oil

Recipe Directions:

  1. Add Greek yogurt to a large mixing bowl. Add in the self-rising flour gradually, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition and stir to combine and a dough starts to form. Form the dough into a ball.
  2. Dust a work surface with flour and knead the dough for 3-5 minutes until the dough is a bit more smooth, holds together and forms a ball easily. If you find the dough too sticky, add 2-4 tbsp more flour and knead to combine. Let the dough rest for 15-30 minutes on the counter.
  3. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and form each into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, 5-6 inches in width.
  4. Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet over medium heat and once hot (this may take 3-4 minutes) place a rolled-out dough round in the pan.
  5. Cook for 1 minute on one side, until golden brown patches appear.
  6. Flip and cook for another 1 minute and drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
  7. Cook for 3-4 more minutes, flipping every 30 seconds for a total of 5-6 minutes.
  8. The pita should be a deep golden brown and slightly puffed up.


Repeat with remaining dough until all are cooked. Makes 6 servings.
