Home made pita bread with roasted garlic, feta cheese

My first try and it taste amazingly delicious! It's really simple and has ample room for creativity

Ingredients
1 and half cup bread flour
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar & salt
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil

Disolve yeast into 1/4 cup of water and sugar. Let it rest before pouring into the flour (mixed with salt). Mix in a glass bowl before removing into a flat surface for kneading. Knead till elastic and well combined. Put it back into glass bowl that is oiled. Coat the dough in the oil before covering with cling foil. Let it rise for 1 and 1/2 hours (double in size).

Punch the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes. While waiting, heat up baking tray that is lightly floured at 230Celcius. Divide dough mixture into small balls (around 6)Using a rolling pin, roll it into an oval shape and place on a plate. Cover with cling foil/or cloth for 20 minutes.

Remove baking tray and place all rolled out dough into the oven. Bake for 5-10 minutes till puff out. Remove immediately and cover in clean cloth to avoid drying. Serve warm with roasted garlic, feta cheese or even with fresh herb tomato.
