To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have perfect pita bread using 7 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Perfect Pita Bread:
- Get 190 g flour (1 1/2 US cup or 360 ml)
- Get 1 tsp dry active yeast
- Prepare 1 tsp sugar
- Get 3/4 tsp salt
- Make ready 1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- Prepare 120 ml warm water (1/2 cup), plus maybe a bit more
- Take Flour for dusting, as needed
Instructions to make Perfect Pita Bread:
- Put flour, yeast, salt, and sugar into bowl. Mix, then add oil and warm water. Mix with spoon or spatula until you can form dough into a ball.
- Dough should be a little moist but not super sticky. Add a little water at a time if needed. If you add too much, mix in more flour.
- When you have a knead-able dough, dust a surface with flour. Remove dough from bowl and knead for about 5 minutes with palm of hand.
- You want to form a smooth ball like this :) When finished, grease a large bowl with a little oil, and put ball of dough in.
- Cover with wrap and let rise for about one hour in a warm spot until fluffy, about double in size.
- Preheat oven to 500F/260C. Meanwhile, remove puffy dough from bowl, squish out air, forming into a ball again.
- Separate into three even pieces.
- Roll out into about 5-inch/12-cm rounds on a floured surface.
- Lay out a baking sheet or lightly grease your baking pan. Lay out pitas on pan and let rest for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- Make sure your oven has had plenty of time to preheat; you want it hot! Put pitas on bottom rack (if you have one) and bake for 5-6 minutes. They should puff up, if not, let bake an extra minute. (if they don't puff up, the oven wasn't hot enough)
- Move pitas to the top or middle rack of oven and bake another two minutes to brown.
- Wrap in a kitchen cloth to keep soft until serving.
- Pitas are perhaps best filled with plenty of falafel ;) I have some recipes for falafel posted in the story section above!
