Preparing the Greek Pita Dough
To prepare the dough for the Pita, we first start by combining together sugar, yeast, water and milk in a small bowl. We need to set the bowl aside and leave it for around 10 minutes so that the yeast starts to activate. In a bigger bowl, we will combine the flour with the salt. After we see that the yeast mixture is ready, we add the olive oil and mix it well together.
As soon as the olive oil is incorporated, we add the mixture to the flour and salt. Combine together until you get a perfect smooth dough. To get the smoothness, knead the dough for around 10 minutes. Put the dough in a bow and cover with a warm wet towel. Let it rise for around 50 minutes until it doubles in size.
When the dough is ready, separate it into 6 different pieces. Roll each piece to a circle of about 20 cm in diameter.

To serve the Pita, use some tzatziki sauce! To make tzatziki sauce, simply mix Sour Creme, Chopped Cucumber, Chopped Garlic, Olive oil and Salt. Let it still for about 2 hours before serving. You can also use these pitas to make Greek Gyros.
