Pita Bread Recipe

We can buy pita bread here, but having made hummus I felt an urge to try making my own. Was not quite the same as shop bought, being rather softer, but more flavour.

250g White Bread Flour

1 sachet, or 2 tsp Quick Yeast

160ml warm water

1tsp Salt

1 tbsp Olive Oil

Put the flour in a bowl and add the other ingredients. Stir until everthing starts to stick together and then use your hands to bring everything together. Should be the same consistancy as bread dough.

Kneed for 10 mins, using flour if it sticks too much.

Cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.

Divide in to 6 pieces and roll each one to an oval about 3mm thick

Heat the oven as hot as it goes and put in a baking tray or pizza stone. When it is hot put on as many of the pita as will fit and cook for 8 to 10 mins until they are just starting to brown.

Best fresh, but can be frozen or kept for a few days in the fridge.

Rolled out

Cooked

Now I just need to find out where we can get a doner beast so we can have doner kebab!
