In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast until well combined.

Pour in the warm water and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Stir using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough gently to release the air. Divide it into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

While shaping, preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Place a baking stone or an upside-down baking sheet inside to heat up.

Once the oven is preheated, carefully place the pitas on the hot baking surface. Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until they puff up and have light golden spots.

Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy them warm or let them cool completely before storage.
