Homemade Pita Bread With Whole Wheat
Advertisement
The word pita comes from Greek which means flat. The bread is also known as Arabic or Syrian bread. However, in Arabic this bread is called Khubz. Interestingly, Pita is the origin of the world Pizza.
A traditional homemade pita bread is round bread and has a pocket in the middle. While baking the bread in the oven, the steam puffs up the dough. This separates the top and bottom layers of the pita bread. If you cut the bread into two halves, it forms a pocket on each half portion of the bread.

Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast with sugar and lukewarm water. Let the solution rest until yeast froths.
- In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, salt and activated yeast solution. Start kneading the dough. Initially the dough will be sticky but after 5 minutes of kneading it will become soft, elastic and non-sticky. Add oil and knead.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with kitchen towel/ Cling wrap. Let the dough rest until it doubles in volume. Once the dough doubles in the volume, punch it down to release the air.
- Now gently fold the dough and divide it into 7 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circular disc of 6 inches and thickness of ¼ inches with the help of a rolling pin. Meanwhile keep the oven for preheating at 250 °C.
- Place the prepared sheets on a baking tray and bake in preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes or till puffed up. Place all the baked Pita breads on a wired rack, cover with a clean kitchen napkin and let them cool for some time.
