The recipe for Pita bread is not so different from making bread except I use less water but pretty much the measurements are the same
Ingredients A (Dry)
2 cups Bread Flour
2 Tsp Instant Dry Yeast
1 Tsp Sugar
1/2 Tsp Salt
Ingredients B (Wet)
3/4 cup Water for pita (1 cup Water for Bread)
2 Tbs Corn Oil or Butter
- Mix all of ingredients A
- Pour Ingredient B in mixture A
- Knead in the bowl for about 2 min
- Let it rest for 30 min
- Roll it up like a baton to about 1.5ft in length
- Divide into 16 pieces
- Very lightly sprinkle some flour on the mat
- Get one of the 16pcs and press down on a bakers mat that's been slightly floured and press down with your palm (the sprinkled flour will prevent the pita from sticking on the mat)
- Take the rolling pin (lightly flour the pin with your hand) and start rolling lightly and evenly turning the dough on each pass to form a circle. you should be able to form 17-18cm pita dough each time
- Heat up the pan and make sure the flame is at the center of the pan (that's the secret)
- Put the pita dough and once it puffs up halfway turn it over and watch the pita form into a piece of puffed-up pita bread.
