Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups All Purpose Flour (Maida)
  • 1-1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 1-1/4 cups Lukewarm Water
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

1
To begin making the Pita bread we will first have to get your components ready especially the leavening agent.
2
If you are using active arid leavening agent (look like small round balls) - follow the steps given in the packet.If you are using fast action leavening agent (looks more like fine semolina) then in a large dish combine the flours, seasoning and granulated sugar and gradually mix in in the leavening agent and shape the flour base until seamless and elastic, adding little baking flour if it tends to get sticky.
3
Once all of the components form a ball; mix in the olive fat and place the ball on a work surface and shape the flour base for approximately 10 moments.
4
Repeated kneading combines all the components well and will help the bread rise well in the oven.Once you have finished kneading and gained enough arm muscle; place the flour base in a large dish coated with olive fat and put a lid on it with cling wrap/plastic wrap and allow it to rise for about 2 hours.After two hours you will notice that the flour base has doubled.
5
At this point punch the flour base down and shape gently.
6
Divide the flour base into 10 portions and roll each portion into a ball.
7
Place the balls on a baking sheet and put a lid on them with a damp cloth and let them sit for another 30 moments.While the flour base is resting, preheat the oven to 250 C.
8
The oven should be preheated for at least half an hour before you can bake the pitas in them.
9
Now it should be time to work your flour base into flat bread.
10
Take one ball, dust it with a little baking flour and dust the work surface as well.
11
Using a rolling pin, roll the pita into an oval or a circle.
12
Make sure the pitas are thin; about 1/8th inch or 1/4 inch thick.
13
Continue the same with the remaining flour base balls.Place the rolled portion of pita bread on dusted baking sheets and place it inside the oven.
14
bake the pita flour base until they puff - you will see them rising forming bubbles, to bit by bit puffing and fully puffing up.The whole process takes a maximum or 3-5 moments and not more than 5 moments.
15
If the pita bread does not rise in 5 moments, then take them out.
16
The Pita Bread will still be cooked, but just wont have pockets and will still palate just as good.You can offer Whole Wheat Pita Bread formula along with soups or make it into sandwiches like Egg Bhurji Stuffed Pita Pockets formula, Aloo Tikki Stuffed Pita Sandwich formula, Pita Sandwich With Cauliflower Falafel And Roasted Vegetables formula and more.
