Instructions

  • Combine warm water with sugar, stirring until sugar is almost dissolved. Add yeast, stirring until incorporated.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes, or until foamy.
  • In a very large mixing bowl (stand mixer if you have it!), combine flours, starches, xanthan gum, and salt, whisking until well combined.
  • Whisk egg into yeast mixture, add to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Slowly add milk , mixing well to combine.
  • Pour olive oil into a large clean bowl, swirl to coat the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Transfer dough to oiled bowl, flip to coat in oil. Loosely cover with plastic wrap, allow to rise in a warm place for an hour or two.
  • Preheat oven to 450 F (230 C), line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Divide dough into 5 equal sized portions. Roll into rounds about 6-8" across.
  • Transfer pita rounds to each cookie sheet, spaced apart.
  • Bake for 6-7 minutes, until puffy and golden.
  • Flip over and bake for 2-3 more minutes.
  • Serve right away (Cut in half, then slit open with a sharp knife to make pockets!), or store in plastic baggies for up to a few days (fresh), or freeze for up to 3 weeks.
