Pita bread will begin to puff up and fill with hot air. Pita bread (also known as Arabic bread and Syrian bread) is a yeast-leavened flatbread common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. It can be made with or without an interior pocket.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook homemade pita bread using 6 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Homemade Pita Bread:
  1. Prepare 3 cup King Arthur All Purpose flour
  2. Make ready 2 tsp instant yeast
  3. Make ready 2 tsp sugar
  4. Prepare 1 1/2 tsp salt
  5. Make ready 1 cup warm water
  6. Get 2 tbsp olive oil or veg oil

Transfer warm pita to a napkin-lined basket and cover so bread stays soft. Repeat with the rest of the dough balls. Fresh homemade pita – made with half white, half whole wheat flour – is easy to make and delicious. Pitas are best when baked on a baking stone or on unglazed quarry tiles; you can also place.

Steps to make Homemade Pita Bread:
  1. Combine all ingredients, making a shaggy dough.
  2. Knead the dough 10 min if by hand, 5 if by mixer, and the regular cycle if in a bread machine.
  3. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Let sit for an hour.
  4. Place dough on a lightly greased work area. Divide dough into 8 pieces.
  5. Preheat oven to 500°F. Make sure you have 1 rack at the very bottom of your oven and one in the middle.
  6. Roll out 2 to 4 pieces from the 8 into 6 in rounds. Place the flattened dough onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Probably will hold 4.
  7. Place on bottom rack in oven for 5 min. Then place on middle rack for 2min. This is to brown the pitas. After 5 min, you should see the pitas beging to bubble or begin to pocket.
  8. If your pitas have not pocketed after 5 min, you need to turn the heat up for the next batch.
  9. After the 7 min is over, take pitas out and place in a clean dish towel. It keeps them moist. I just placed mine in a bowl and covered with a dish towel.
  10. Repeat steps 6 thru 9 for last batch.
  11. Store pitas in an air tight container or plastic bag.

Pita bread is one of those things that seems super intimidating but actually is pretty easy to make. I tried out a few recipes and I think that this one is the best, mostly because it requires very little hands on time and it gives you soft, fluffy pitas that work as well dipping into humus as they do a sandwich wrap. Pita is also great make-ahead bread. I often prepare the dough through the first rise, punch it down, and then keep it refrigerated for up to a week. The flavor actually improves after a few days of chilling.
