Pita Bread


One of my favorite cuisine is Mediterranean. The central item on table in this cusine is pita bread which is easily available in grocery stores. I appreciate home made Indian roti(bread) so much over the store bought roti that I have been thinking of making pita bread at home for a while now. In a way they are quite similar to Indian bread.

I have talked about a universal dough recipe for various breads from different countries before. Pita bread is the latest addition to the category by using same dough recipe that I have used to make bhatura, pizzabase and naan.

Once you have your dough ready:
- Heat up a baking sheet (optional: use parchment paper over baking sheet) in your oven at 450 C. Once the oven temperature is at 450C, roll out dough into a 4-5 inch diameter circle with 1/8 inch thickness.
- Transfer the rolled dough onto the baking sheet and let it cook for 4-5 minutes. Change sides and cook for another 2-3 minutes or u can experiment based on your taste level. You can make multiple pita breads at the same time depending on the size of your baking sheet.
- Enjoy this with falafel, hummus, baba ganoush.
