Pita Bread

RECIPE HERE 👇🏾

Homemade pita: you may never buy store-bought again!

Makes 8 pita (about 5 inches dia)

2 ¼ cups all purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour*

2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp granulated sugar

1 ¼ cups lukewarm water

2 ¼ tsp fast-acting yeast (I use Fleischmann’s Quick Rise)

2 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil

*If you don’t have whole wheat flour on hand, replace it with all-purpose flour.

Combine the flours, salt and sugar in a medium bowl.

In a cup, mix together the water, yeast and oil.

Pour the liquid over the flour and mix unti combined. Knead until smooth.

Place the dough in a lightly-oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise for about an hour, or until doubled.

Preheat a pizza stone or heavy baking tray in a 475 F oven.

Divide the dough into 8 portions (or 6 if you prefer larger pita); shape into balls. Roll each on a floured surface until about ¼-inch thick.

Carefully place the dough on a hot pizza stone (or baking tray) for a few minutes untl puffed. I keep my oven light on–and I don’t bother to turn the pita over.

If you prefer a darker, firmer crust, leave the pita in the oven longer. Alternatively, remove the pita from the oven and brown in a hot dry skillet.

Enjoy!👩‍🍳
