Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and kosher salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Gradually incorporate warm milk and warm water into the dry mixture, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add olive oil, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Grease a clean bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Punch down the risen dough, divide it into 8 equal pieces, and shape them into balls.
- Flatten each dough ball, then roll it out into circles about 7-8 inches wide and ¼ inch thick.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook each pita for about 1 minute on each side until puffed and browned.
- Optional: Brush warm pitas with garlic-infused butter or sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
