Mix flour, sugar, and dry yeast in a bowl.

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.

Add salt to the mixture after mixing for 1 minute.

Let the dough rest for 3 hours in the fridge or at room temperature for 30-40 minutes.

Shape the dough into balls and let them relax.

Roll out the dough and let it rise again before baking.

Preheat the oven to 500°F with a cast iron pan upside down inside.

Transfer the rolled dough onto a peel or spatula and place it in the oven.

Bake for about 2 minutes, then flip the pita to cook the other side.
