1Tablespoon heaping Gluten
2 teaspoons salt

1 Tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup warm water (105-110 degrees) the water temp. is important

Place dough on a floured surface, then shape ino a circle and cut into 8 even pieces.
Shape dough pieces into balls(you can let the dough balls rest for about 15 minutes ) roll out the dough about 6 inches around and 1/2 inches is thick. The round is not as much important as the thickness.

If the dough is to thin it will not a puff. Don't worry if it does not puff you can use them for pizza or cut and make into pita chips.
Place the rolled out dough on a piece of tin foil and place the foil straight on the rack in the oven. There is no need to use a cookie sheet the dough will not puff as well on a cookie sheet.

Cook dough and 500° 5 to 8 minutes, cook 2 at 3 pitas at a time. Is important to make sure your oven temperature stays at 500°.
