Cooking Steps
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Add Yogurt: Add the plain yogurt to the dry mixture. Mix to form a crumbly mixture.
Add Water: Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing. You want to form a dough that's soft and pliable but not sticky. The amount of water needed can vary, so adjust as necessary.
Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth.
Rest Dough: Place the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and makes rolling easier.
Preheat Pan: Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Divide Dough: After resting, divide the dough into two equal portions.
Roll Out Pitas: Roll each portion of dough into a circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter. You can use a rolling pin for this.
