Pitta Breads
Directions
- 1In a large bowl, add water, instant yeast, and sugar. Mix.
- 2Add flour and salt and mix well until combined.
- 3Take the dough out and place it on a floured surface.
- 4Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until smooth.
- 5Flip the dough, tuck in the sides to form a tight ball.
- 6Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest for 60 minutes.
- 7Decompress the dough, take it out of the bowl, and cut it in half, then into quarters, and each quarter in two to create 8 pieces.
- 8Fold the dough over itself, pinch and squeeze inwards, and roll it into a ball shape.
- 9Flour your surface and the top and bottom of the dough. Roll it out into a circle shape.
- 10Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
- 11Heat your pan to a high heat and use the water test.
- 12Place your pita bread in the pan and count to 15 before flipping.
- 13We're going to apply this 15-second rule the whole way through cooking each bit of bread until they're fully puffed and golden.
- 14Give the frying pan a wipe after each one.
- 15You're going to press down on the first two sides, and then don't press down again.
- 16Just wait for that rise.
