🥖 Samples of pita bread for dipping this weekend at Drizzles Oil & Vinegar Tasting Store. Baked in a skillet so you don’t need to turn on the oven!
Pita Bread
Ingredients:
* 2 ¼ cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
* 1 cup lukewarm water, 110°F to 115°F
* 1 teaspoon instant yeast
* 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* Drizzles Kalamata olive oil, (for cooking in a skillet)
Instructions:
Make the dough.
* Add water, yeast, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine, then set aside until foamy.
* Add the flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough several times inside the bowl until you can form a rough ball – it will be sticky. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel. Place the bowl in a warm place until the dough has doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
* Flour the work surface, then carefully empty the proofed pita dough onto it. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces.
* Roll each portion of dough into a ball, dust a bit more flour underneath and on top. Cover with the dish towel and rest for 10 minutes.
* Using your fingers, press each dough ball into 6-inch circles, then cover them with a dish towel and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Cook the Pita
* Use a heavy-bottomed pan (cast iron or non-stick pan) over medium heat. Add a drizzle of Kalamata olive oil, then place down a circle of pita dough.
* When the bottom has golden brown spots, carefully flip and cook the other side; the pita takes 2 to 3 minutes on each side. If they are over-browning and still doughy in the middle, finish them in a 350° F (176°C) oven for 5 minutes.
Store homemade pita bread in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
(You can make ahead of time. Make pita dough and complete the one-hour rise at room temperature. Rub the dough with olive oil and store it in an airtight bag or container overnight. Bring it to room temperature, then divide it into 6 equal portions. Continue the recipe as written.)
