To Make the Pitas:

  1. Combine water, yeast, and palm syrup in a medium bowl and stir to dissolve yeast. Add salt, oil, bulgur wheat, and 1 1/2 cups of the whole wheat flour. Stir the mixture together for 1 -2 minutes, until well combined then cover with plastic and put in a warm spot for about 1 hour to start rising.
  2. After an hour, Add the other 1 cup of flour and stir well, knead with your hands if possible. Re-cover and place back in a warm spot to rise for about one more hour.

  4. Heat a medium skillet over high heat and spray with oil. Cook pitas one at a time on each side for about 1 minute, until browned.
