Instructions

1. 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. 2 Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a rough dough forms.
3. 3 Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or an inverted baking sheet inside.
6. 6 Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, shape each into a ball, and roll each ball into a 1/4-inch thick circle.
7. 7 Mix the za'atar spice blend with olive oil, and brush each dough circle with the mixture.
8. 8 Carefully place the dough circles onto the hot baking stone or sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, until puffed and golden.
9. 9 Remove the pita from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
