pita bread

Ingredients for 2 servings

250 GRAMS FLOUR
150 ML LUKEWARM WATER
1/2 TSP SALT
2 TSP DRY YEAST
1 TSP SUGAR
3 TBS OLIVE OIL FOR KNEADING

Preparation

  1. Place flour, salt, yeast, and sugar in a bowl and mix well.
  2. Add the lukewarm water and knead well until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. Don't worry if the dough still seems relatively dry at this point!
  3. Then, rub your hands with 1 tbsp of olive oil and knead the dough. Repeat this process 3 times.
  4. Almost there! You and the dough should rest for 30 minutes. 😎
  5. Moving on: Divide the dough into 4 pieces and let rest for another 30 minutes. 🙌
  6. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin and a little flour. Be careful: don't roll it too thin! Thinner means crispier. Thicker = fluffier.
  7. Use a fork to poke several holes into the rolled-out dough. You only need to do this if you intend to stuff the pita. Pricking it gives the pita more flexibility and prevents it from tearing.
  8. Off it goes onto the pizza stone or the grill mat! When preparing on a pizza stone, in the oven, or on the grill mat, you don't need any extra oil.
