whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: spelt flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

1

Combine whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, and salt in a large bowl.

2

In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water until frothy.

3

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture.

4

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

5

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

6

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a baking stone or baking sheet inside.

7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces.

8

Shape each piece into a ball and roll out into circles about 1/4 inch thick.

9

Sprinkle cornmeal on the baking stone or sheet to prevent sticking.

10

Bake the pitas for 5-7 minutes until they puff up and are lightly browned.

11

Remove from the oven and cover with a towel to keep warm.

12

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
