Recipe #297: Pita Bread

Another easy recipe from Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day
that we have already used in a couple of recipes!

You need:
about a grape fruit size portion of pizza dough
a little olive oil

  • preheat oven to 500 with baking stone in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes
  • just before you are ready to bake divide the dough into four small balls
  • dust one ball with some flour and roll into a small circle
  • slide pita on to stone and bake for about 5-7 minutes. i can fit about 2 on my stone so I roll one out, put it in the oven then do the other one really quickly.
  • it should be puffy and lightly browned. 
  • I followed their greek style the first time and brushed the dough with a little olive oil and then punched it down because I wanted to use it to wrap, not really stick stuff in it.
  • let them cool wrapped in a cotton towel, on a cooling rack 
Great with Mediterranean Beef Wraps or Turkish Stuffed Pita Boats
