Pita bread

Ingredients

• 405g bakers flour (I mill 100g wheat to mix wholemeal and white flour)
• 290g tepid water
• 2 tsp yeast
• 1 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
• 15g olive oil

Method

1. If using whole wheat, mill in the TM for 1 min/speed 9
2. Add water, yeast, salt, flour and oil. Mix for 5 sec/speed 7
3. Knead for 2 minutes
4. Turn the dough out onto TM mat and punch down on the dough to get ride of the air. Set aside and let it rise (approx 1 hour)
5. Preheat the oven to 200°C with the trays in the oven
6. Once the dough has risen, separate the dough into 8 parts (depending on how big you like the size) and roll it flat with a rolling pin
7. Place them on the baking tray and bake for 3-5 minutes. If you like them crispier, you can keep them in there for a few minutes longer.

 

I didn't actually know what pita breads were supposed to look like, so I rolled them out in various shapes :p

Serve them up with some falafel and/or soup :)
