Pita Bread
Soft and fluffy homemade pita bread, perfect for stuffing or dipping!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Rolling Pin
- Griddle or Skillet
- Kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (237g)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (281g)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, granulated sugar, sea salt, and olive oil. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and stir until slightly frothy.
- Gradually add more flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead in the bowl for about a minute until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 40 minutes.
- After rising, punch down the dough, divide it into 8 equal pieces, and roll each into a thin circle (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it. Cook each pita for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another minute until puffed.
- Remove the cooked pitas from the skillet and wrap them in a kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining pitas.
