pita bread

Bread
Picture
Print Friendly and PDF
​1 and 1/4 cups warm (not hot) water
1 tablespoon dry yeast
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
3 cups flour (maybe 1/2 cup more)
1 teaspoon salt

  1. Pour warm water in the bowl of your stand mixer or into a large mixing bowl.  Sprinkle sugar on top and give it a quick stir.  Cover for 5 minutes until mixture is bubbly.  
  2. Pour in 3 cups flour and the salt.  Beat (use dough hook for stand mixer.)  for a few minutes until the dough is shaggy-looking.  It won't be smooth.  If it's too sticky, add the extra flour - 1 tablespoon at a time.  Beat on low for 4 minutes or remove from bowl and hand knead for around 6 minutes.
  3. Put the dough onto a dusted flour surface.  Divide it into 8 pieces for medium-sized pita bread.  Roll each piece into a ball in your hand, then using a rolling pin - flatten out into 1/4 inch circles.  
  4. Cover with dish towel and let rise for about 45 minutes.  (They will only rise just a bit, but they do need to "rest."
  5. Place each pita onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or well-oiled. 
  6. Bake 10 t0 15 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven until golden and puffy.
  7. Cool on wire racks and make a "pocket" slit into each one when cool or when ready to stuff!
