Pita Bread
Pita Bread is a yeast-leavened round flatbread baked from wheat flour, common in the Mediterranean, Middle East and neighbouring areas.
Warm fragrant homemade bread is obviously superior to store-bought one. Once you get the hang of it, it’s not difficult to make pita bread at home. This homemade bread recipe is easy to make and requires a few ingredients. Knead a simple dough, let it rise and experience the magic of fresh, warm, perfectly puffy homemade pita bread.
Pita bread dough is freezer friendly. The dough can be prepared ahead of time. Once, it has risen, you can store it in the fridge until you need it.
Pita bread is used to make falafel, shawarma, hummus or pita pockets.
Ingredients for the pita bread
- 200 gm wheat flour
- 3 gm dry yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Oil
- Warm Water to make the dough
How to make bread dough

Whisk the ingredients. Add lukewarm water to make a soft moist dough. Cover the bowl with a cling.
