1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes.

2

Add the salt and gradually mix in the flour while kneading until you get a soft, smooth, and slightly elastic dough.

3

Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place until doubled in size (about 40–45 minutes).

4

Divide the risen dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.

5

Flatten each ball slightly and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

6

In a small bowl, mix yogurt, egg yolk, and water. Brush this mixture evenly over the pita breads.

7

Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F).

8

Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden on top.

9

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
