Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the following ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer: warm water, olive oil, honey, salt, whole wheat flour, bread flour, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Choose the dough cycle on your bread machine and press start. Let the machine knead and rise the dough (approximately 1.5 hours).

Step 3

Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the balls with a lightly damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well; otherwise, use a baking sheet for cooking.

Step 6

Roll each dough ball into a 1/4-inch thick circle (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter). Ensure they are evenly rolled so they puff uniformly during baking.

Step 7

Place the rolled dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly onto the preheated baking stone. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the pitas are puffed and slightly golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and stack the pitas inside a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft while cooling.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.
