Gluten-Free Pita Bread

Step 1/ 6

• ¼ tbsp dry yeast
• ¼ tbsp honey
• ⅓ cups water

• 1 bowl (small)

In a small bowl mix a cup of water with dry yeast and honey. Let it sit on the counter for 2-4 minutes.

Step 2/ 6

• 3½ oz gluten-free flour
• ⅛ tbsp salt
• ⅔ tbsp olive oil

• bowl (large)
• stand mixer with dough hook

To a large bowl of a stand mixer add flour, the water-yeast-honey mixture, and then, the rest of the water (¾ cup). Mix until a dough starts to form and after 3-4 minutes add olive oil and salt. Keep kneading the dough for another 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 3/ 6

Cover the dough with a thin layer of olive oil using your hands, cover it with a towel and let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until it doubled its size. After the dough has risen, turn it onto a floured work surface and divide the dough into 10-11 pieces (Each piece should be around 100g)

Step 4/ 6

• rolling pin

In order to shape each pita bread, take 1 ball (While keeping the others covered) and press into a flat disc using a rolling pin. Roll each disc into the desired size while making sure that its thickness won’t be over than half a cm. You can sprinkle some flour at this point if you feel like the dough is getting sticky. Repeat the shaping process with the rest of the dough balls.

Step 5/ 6

• Baking tray
• kitchen towel

Before baking the pita bread let them rest for about 30 minutes on the baking tray, while they are already shaped. Don’t forget to cover them with a damp towel.

Step 6/ 6

• oven

Preheat an oven to 240c degrees. After 30 minutes place the tray in the oven and Bake the pitas for about 5-10 minutes. After a few minutes, you should already see the pitas are nicely puffed and they start to have a golden color. Once the dough has puffed and the pita has a nice golden color, flip the pitas and bake for another 1-2 minutes. Important: The baking process happens so fast so don’t leave your oven and be present in this baking process. Once baked, remove the pita bread from the ove
