Pita Bread Recipe


Here is the pita bread recipe as promised:

1000ml cake wheat flour 
1ml salt
15ml sugar 
30ml sunflower oil
1 x 10g packet instant dry yeast
450ml warm water

Sift the dry ingredients together.    Mix oil and water.   Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the oil and water mix.  Knead to form a soft dough (I usually judge it to be ready when it does not stick to my hands or the bowl anymore).

Rub oil over the dough so that it does not dry out.  Leave it in a warm place to rise (an hour or two in summer and three or four hours in winter).      Knock the dough down slightly.    Cut into twelve equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

Allow to rise while  oven heats up  (230 C) up and you are preparing the fillings (chopped tomato, homemade pickles, chopped pineapple, grated cheese, crumbled feta and saucy beef strips or mince, etc)

Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 - 10 minutes
