Ingredients
2
cups
whole wheat flour
atta
¾
teaspoon
salt
3
tablespoons
olive oil
½
teaspoon
sugar
½
tablespoon
dry active yeast
¾
cup
+ 1 tablespoon warm water

Instructions
In a bowl whisk together whole wheat flour and salt.
Add in the olive oil and mix till it's well combined with the flour.
Take warm water [110-115 F degrees] in a glass/mug, add sugar and yeast and give a quick stir. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the yeast will get activated and you will see froth/bubbles on top
Add the liquid to the flour mixture slowly, in parts.
Knead the entire liquid into the flour forming a dough. The dough will be little sticky.
Sprinkle some flour on your working surface and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes till it's smooth.
Place the dough in a large bowl coated with olive oil. Make sure the entire dough is coated with oil.
Apply a cling sheet over the bowl and let the dough rise for 1-1.5 hours.
After 1 hour the dough will almost double in size.
Punch the dough to release all the air. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes.
Divide into 6 equal portions and let the dough sit for another 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, roll each dough ball into a round flat bread, around 8 inch and 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle some cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the rolled pita breads over. Let them rest for 15 minutes, cover them loosely.
Preheat your oven to 475 F degrees.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake at 475 F degrees for 7-8 minutes. The pita bread is done when they puff up.
