Prep: 120 min Cook: 10 min Servings: 4by Erin S1195 recipes>Fresh homemade Pita bread Ingredients
- 3 cups Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbls Sugar (or honey)
- 1 packet Active Yeast (or 2 tsp from bulk container)
- 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 Water, room temperature
- 2 Tbls Olive Oil
Directions
- In a large bowl mix flour, salt, sugar and yeast together. Add Oil to 1 1/4 cup water. Add water to flour mixture. Stir until it forms a ball, you might have to add a little more water to make it come together.
- Once dough comes together, turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. You could probably break out your mixer for this step if you wanted. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise for about 90 minutes or until it doubles in size. Punch dough down. Divide into 8 pieces, rolling each into a ball. Cover with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If using a baking stone place on the middle rack.
- After dough has rested, roll each ball on a lightly floured surface to form a 1/4 inch thick circle. Bake 2 at a time on the stone for 3 minutes a side. Be careful not to puncture the dough when flipping, or they will not puff up. They will still taste good, just not as airy. Serve immediately.
