Pita bread will begin to puff up and fill with hot air. Pita bread (also known as Arabic bread and Syrian bread) is a yeast-leavened flatbread common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. It can be made with or without an interior pocket.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook pita bread using 6 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Pita Bread:
- Get 3 cup Ap flour
- Prepare 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- Get 1 tbsp Sugar or honey
- Take 2 tsp Yeast or 1 packet
- Take 1 1/2 cup Luke warm water (may not need all of it)
- Prepare 2 tbsp Oil (1/2 to rub on dough ball)
The pita should be pale, with only a few brown speckles. Transfer warm pita to a napkin-lined basket and cover so bread stays soft. Repeat with the rest of the dough balls. Baked pita bread is best enjoyed fresh and hot-out-of the oven.
Steps to make Pita Bread:
- Gather your mise en place. - You will need all ingredients above 2 mixing bowls, plastic wrap, rolling pin and clean work surface…
- Add flour, salt, sugar, yeast and 1/2 the oil into your mixing bowl. - If you have fresh active yeast you wanna put the yeast water and sugar into a separate container for 20 mins and let it bubble up before adding to flour
- Start adding water and mixing till you have a ball of dough
- Remove from bowl and lay on clean floured surface and start kneading till you have a smooth ball. About 10 mins - Not too much flour but add little by little as needed
- Rub oil on other mixing bowl and all over dough ball. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to double in size. About 30 mins to an hour depending on surrounding temperature
- Once doubled in size remove from bowl and place on clean in floured surface and, press down all over on dough with all fingers to redistribute the gas bubbles, called punching, then portion out 8 balls and you could wrap in plastic and freeze for later date or roll out on floured surface to about 1/4 to a 1/3 of an inch thick
- Bake in oven at 350 for about 15 mins or until it puffs up . Or grill for about 2 maybe 3 mins on each side until puffed up.
Good news is, pita bread will store well for a few days in an air-tight bag. Warm it up in your oven or toaster oven or even over open flame. You can freeze pita bread for later use! In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in salt and enough flour to form a soft dough.
