In another bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, olive oil, and the activated yeast water.

Mix everything till well combined.

Knead the dough or use a stand mixer until soft.

Let the dough rest for 2-3 minutes if needed, then knead for two more minutes and shape it into a round.

Add olive oil to the bowl and cover the dough with it to prevent sticking.

Cover the dough and let it rise for 2-3 hours.

After rising, punch the dough and take it out to a flatter surface.

Slice the dough into roughly equal parts and make individual balls.

Cover the dough balls with a towel or plastic film and let them rest for about 30 minutes.

Roll them out using a rolling pin into an oval or round shape.

Heat a pan, add a few drops of olive oil, and brush it evenly throughout the pan.

Once the pan is hot, add the pita bread and switch the heat to medium.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until air pockets form, then flip the pita bread.

Adjust the heat as needed to ensure proper cooking.
