Recipe of the Week: Homemade Pitas

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 teaspoons dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon honey or zero-calorie sweetener
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer, mix the water, honey, and yeast and let it sit for about five minutes.
  2. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil and mix for a couple of minutes until it comes together.
  3. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic, adding more flour only if necessary. Make a ball and place it into an oiled bowl, cover it, and allow it to rest until doubled (about an hour).
  4. Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide it into 10-12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small ball.
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle about ½ cm (¼ inch) thick. Lift and turn the dough frequently as you roll to make sure it isn’t sticking to your counter. Sprinkle with a little extra flour if it starts to stick. The circles will be slightly smaller than store-bought ones.
  6. Cover the circles with plastic wrap. Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a baking pan on the middle rack. When the oven is ready, transfer 3 pitas at a time (or more if your oven is big) onto the baking surface and bake for 4 minutes or until the pitas balloon fully.
  7. Remove the pitas from the oven and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.

Count half a pita as one bread or the whole pita as two breads
