Multigrain Pita Bread:

1. Activate Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the flours and salt.
3. Mix Dough: Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix together until a dough forms.
4. Knead Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
