How to make pita bread:

Combine in bowl warm water, yeast and sugar. Stir until yeast is thoroughly dissolved. Let stand until yeast begins to "work". Sift into a large bowl the flour, oil and salt. Beat in 2 cups of warm water using wooden spoon. When blended, beat in yeast mixture until completely blended. Turn onto floured board. Knead about 10 to 12 minutes until smooth and not sticky. Grease large bowl. Put in dough. Turn to coat. Cover with damp cloth. Let rise until double, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes. Roll into thick sausage, 15 to 16-inches long. Cut into 15 to 16 equal pieces. Pat each into ball. Roll on floured board into circles 3/16-inch thick. Be exact. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Place on wire rack in a 500° oven about 5 minutes. (Bread will start to rise and brown.) Remove from oven. Cool on wire rack.
