• Mix in the flour, salt and oil to the bowl and make soft dough.
• Knead the dough for 2-3 min.
• Keep the dough aside in well-oiled bowl in a warm place. Cover with a cloth.
• Once the dough has doubled in size (1 hour), punch it and knead for 1 min
• Divide it into 6 equal parts.
• Dust the balls with flour and using a rolling pin roll each ball into an oval shape with a 1/6 inch thickness.
• Pre heat the oven on grill mode at 250° C along with a baking paper lined baking tray. 
• Once the oven is hot enough remove the hot baking tray, and place the rolled pitta breads on it (as many as you can fit on it) and put the tray back in the oven.
• Cook for 2-3 min or until cooked. The pitta bread will buff up but make sure it does not turn brown completely. It should be soft.
