Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 1 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 0.75 cup warm water. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add 2 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each into a 6-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat a dry skillet over high heat. Cook each pita for 1-2 minutes per side, until puffed and golden spots appear.
Step 5
Wrap cooked pitas in a clean towel to keep soft. Serve warm.
