Suggest a better description1. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together yeast, water, let sit 10 minutes, add the flour, salt. Add the water and oil. Stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms — the mixture will appear dry and unevenly mixed. Use your hands to knead the dough briefly in the bowl just until the flour is absorbed and you have a sticky ball, about 30 seconds. Drizzle a little olive oil over top, turn the dough to coat, cover bowl with a tea towel, and transfer to a warm place (see notes above) to rise for 1.5 hours.
2. Portion the dough: Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead briefly to form a ball. Use scale and divide dough in half — each ball should roughly weigh 110 g. Using flour as needed to prevent sticking, ball up each portion, using the pinky edges of your fingers to create tension. Let rest 30 minutes.
3. Roll out each ball: Flatten one ball, and, using flour as needed, gently roll out with a rolling pin until you have a 7-inch round — the key is to not roll too aggressively in order to prevent the air pockets from being forced out. If a round is resisting, set it aside, begin rolling out another one, and return to the stubborn one at the end. Transfer each 7-inch round to a sheet of parchment paper.
Make sure significant flour on surface. Let rest 30-60 minutes.
4. Heat oven with a Baking Steel or stone inside at 500ºF.
5. Bake the pita: When oven has preheated to 500 degrees, use a pizza peel to shimmy one round at a time, parchment paper and all, onto the preheated Baking Steel. Set timer for 4 minutes. If the pita is lightly golden, it’s done. Do not over bake.
6. Place on plate - cover with foil.
