Pita Bread

• tổng thời gian: 2 hours 52 minutes

Nguyên liệu

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 tablespoon yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps activate yeast)

Hướng dẫn

Activate yeast:

In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, and olive oil. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

Mix dough:

Add the flour and salt. Mix by hand or with a mixer for about 4 minutes until smooth.

First rise:

Lightly oil a clean bowl. Place the dough inside, turning it so it’s coated with oil. Cover with a warm towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours (until doubled in size).

Shape:

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into equal pieces and shape into balls. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

Roll out:

Roll each ball into a disk about 1/4-inch thick. Place on a floured surface and let rest another 15 minutes.

Cook:

Heat a pan over medium heat for 2 minutes.

Lightly oil the pan with spray, then wipe with a napkin so it’s just a thin coat.

Cook each pita for 1–2 minutes per side. It should puff up with air pockets. If needed, press gently with a spatula to help it rise.

Serve & store:

Remove from pan, stack the pitas, and cover with a towel to keep soft.

Best eaten fresh.

Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.

If too hard, warm them slightly before serving.

Tip: Don’t roll them out too thin if you want soft, fluffy pita. #fyp #fypシ #recipe #easyrecipe #pita #bread #breadmaking #homemadefood #delicious #yummy
