Oven Pita

Ingredients:

  • 600 g of flour (preferably gluten-rich bread flour)
  • 7 g dry yeast
  • 450 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tablespoons of oil

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius / 480 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Sift the flour to make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Add yeast and mix.
  4. Dissolve the sugar, soda, and salt in water and add them to the flour.
  5. Put the batter for 8 minutes at medium speed.
  6. While kneading, add oil.
  7. The dough should be a little sticky if you add a little water while kneading.
  8. Let rise for an hour in a bowl covered with plastic wrap.
  9. Grease your hands and divide into about 15 balls (or more, depending on the desired size).
  10. Leave covered for about 15 minutes.
  11. Lightly roll each circle to a thickness of about 1 cm.
  12. Place lightly floured baking paper on a tray and put pita bread on it.
  13. Cover with a towel and wait for about 15 minutes.
  14. Bake in a preheated oven for 3 minutes on each side or until the pita is golden.
  15. Repeat the operation with the rest of the pitas.
  16. It is crucial to ensure that the oven is hot before the pitas are baked; otherwise, a pocket will not form.
  17. When the pitas come out of the oven, put them in a towel or a tied bag to keep them flexible.
  18. The pitas are tastiest on the day of preparation. 
  19. Do you want to save some for the next day?
  20. Freeze in a sealed bag and heat in the microwave or toaster when you want to eat.
