Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Gradually pour in 1 cup of warm milk and 1 cup of warm water, stirring gently until the mixture begins to come together.
- Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly grease a bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Once risen, dust a surface with flour, turn out the dough, and cut it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a smooth ball, then flatten into a circle about 1/4 inch thick and 7-8 inches in diameter.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil, and cook each pita for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Optionally brush with melted garlic and herb butter before serving warm.

Notes
Ensure your yeast is fresh and use warm (not hot) water and milk to activate it properly.
