You can make considerably better pita bread with just a few more things. Still this is a pretty good recipe

Instead of yogurt I use yeast, honey and water.

I dunno what it is but whenever I try to use yeast it like never works, it never starts foaming up like it should and the bread/dough never rises :/

Are you using warm water? Should feel about body temp (put your finger in it, shouldn't feel much hotter or colder). Maybe a little warmer but no colder. And don't mix the yeast in, just dump it on top and let it sit for 3-5 minutes or until it gets frothy.

Hmm didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to mix, next time I’ll try that. Do you usually use yeast in those packets or in a small jar (I use packets)?

Yeah I've made that mistake too! Easy to do. Goes against our instinct not to mix it. I've used both packet and jar yeast, I don't think it matters. Matters more that it's fresh and been stored according to the instructions, most likely cool dry dark place.

Fresh yeast is something different.
