Add two tablespoons of oil to the mixture, mix.
Put the warm mixture from a bowl on a cutting table, sprinkled with flour. Keep kneading for 10-15 minutes until a homogeneous and elastic mass is obtained. Try not to add flour, otherwise the pita bread will turn out rough and will roll badly. The result is an elastic and soft dough that lags behind the hands and the table.

Then divide into six to seven balls, roll into thin and large pancakes. The size of the pita bread should be twice the size of the baking sheet or dishes, in which you will subsequently bake achma.
Heat the pan. Bake on both sides without adding oil. To prevent flour from dusting, lay the finished rolled pita bread with a damp towel, then it will settle on it and will not burn. After laying out in a pan for baking.
Fold the finished pita bread on a large dish, covering it with a second wet towel. Then they will not dry, and will retain their taste for a long time.

Weld the rest of the rolled dough. To do this, dip the raw pancake in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, depending on the thickness. Remove from water, cool and use to create layers of cheese or other fillings.
