Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cup - All purpose flour
  • ½ Cup - Whole wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon - Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon - Active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon - Olive oil
  • Water as needed

Instructions

  • In a bowl, take the flour, sugar, salt, yeast and oil.
    Give it a quick mix and start to add a little bit of water at a time to form a soft dough.
    Knead the dough until the top starts to get smooth.
    Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, until the dough almost doubles in size.
    Knead the dough gently once again and divide it into 5-6 equal portions.
    Shape the portions into round balls and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
    Now dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with flour.
    Place one ball and roll the ball into approximately a 6-7 inch circle.
    Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius with a cast iron pan or a pizza stone in the middle rack of the oven.
    Place 1-2 rolled pita on the skillet/pizza stone (depending on how many fits in the pan at a time) and let it bake for 2-3 minutes on one side.
    Now with a pair of tongs, flip the pita carefully to the other side and let it bake for a further 2 minutes.
    The pita should be cooked with slight browning and the pita should fluff up.
    Take the pita out and repeat the same method for baking the remaining pitas.

    This is gorgeous! I have used store bought pita bread to fry and season to make homemade pita chips, but this is next level for sure!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
