• 1¾ + 1 tbsp cups King Arthur Gluten-Free Bread Flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 2¼ tsp instant yeast
• ¾ cup warm water ( (110°F/43°C))
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Steps

1. 1

   Gather and measure all ingredients.

2. 2

   Whisk together flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add warm water and olive oil. Mix for 2-3 minutes until a soft, sticky dough forms.

4. 4

   Cover and let dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place until slightly puffy.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, place a sheet pan or pizza stone on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) for 30-45 minutes.

6. 6

   Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Press into ¼-inch rounds using oiled hands on parchment paper. Rest the shaped rounds for 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Transfer pita dough directly to the preheated sheet pan via parchment paper. Bake directly on the hot sheet pan for 7-8 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and transfer the pita to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
