Dissolve yeast using some warm water.

Combine and mix together flour and salt.

Add dissolved yeast and the rest of the warm water to knead into a smooth dough.

Dough should be soft to the touch.

Leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Knead the dough with some flour.

Divide into four pieces.

Knead each piece separately using extra flour.

Use baking paper and let it rise for about 10 minutes.

Gently stretch each piece using your fingers and palm to form pitas.

Soak your hands in cold water to prevent the dough from sticking to them.

Using a thin object, make criss-cross prints on top of each pita.

Leave aside for 10 minutes before baking.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at the oven's highest temperature with vent-fan on.

Cover baked pitas with a clean cloth to keep them soft.
