Leave in a warm, draft-free place for 3 hours, or until doubled.", "Once doubled, preheat the oven to 500u00b0F. Place the oven rack on the lowest setting and preheat a baking sheet on the rack. Next, punch the dough down and break off 8 pieces. Form into balls and set on a floured surface to rest for 10 minutes. Once rested, roll the balls into 6-inch rounds, about 1/4"" thick.", "Remove the baking sheet from the oven, grease it and place pitas on the baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven for 4 minutes.
