2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 tbsp. Granulated Sugar, or Honey
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tsp. Fine Sea Salt
1 tsp. Instant Yeast
3/4 cup Warm Water
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Set aside to bloom 5 minutes.
Add the olive oil and flour. Mix until shaggy dough and all the flour is absorbed.
Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes, until a smooth and pliable dough.
Cover and set aside in a warm environment for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
Heat up the oven to 550F. Place a heavy duty baking pan or stone inside to heat up.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball.
Let rest for 10-30 minutes.
Roll out the dough balls with a rolling pin so it's an even surface that's about 6" round. Let rest 10-15 minutes.
Cooking in batches of 3-4 pitas, add the pitas to the heated baking pan or stone. Cook for 2 minutes, until lightly golden.
How to Store Chicken Souvlaki:
Store leftover chicken souvlaki in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. This chicken recipe makes incredible leftovers as the chicken is tender and can easily be reheated in the air fryer, microwave, or oven.
