In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the warm water to the dry mixture and stir until a rough dough begins to form.
Incorporate the chopped parsley, rosemary, and thyme into the dough. Knead the dough either by hand on a clean surface or with the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven during preheating. Alternatively, you can use a baking tray turned upside down.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the rolled-out dough onto parchment paper or directly onto the preheated baking stone/tray. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the pitas puff up and develop light golden spots.
Remove the pita breads from the oven and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft as they cool.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
