Wholemeal Pitta Bread

Wholemeal Pitta Bread

I adore Pitta Bread .... Wholemeal Pitta Bread !!!

It is absolutely tasty ....

You can combine it with cheese, butter , jam , honey.... with your favourite soup or dish...

No yeast, no proofing... 

Easy, fast and healthy !

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 cups Wholemeal Flour

1 1/2  teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2  teaspoon Salt

1 cup Greek Yoghurt 

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

Instructions

*In a bowl combine the flour, the baking powder and the salt.

*In another bowl mix the yoghurt and the baking soda....

*Add the yoghurt mixture in the flour and mix with a fork until the yoghurt has absorbed the flour. You will need to use your hands to bring the dough together. Depending on your flour you may not need all the yogurt so it's best to add it little by little, or you can add a splash of water if the yoghurt is not enough.

*Knead the dough for about 4-5 minutes.

*Once the dough is formed into a smooth ball, place it on a floured surface and divide it into 6 balls.

*Working with one ball at a time, roll (with a rolling pin) each one out to a circle. Try to roll the dough as thin as possible so the bread cooks evenly on both sides with a nice air bubbles in between. 

*Heat a large frying non-stick pan (mine is with a thick bottom and a lid) over medium heat.

*Brush the pan with some olive oil (optional..... I use dry pan)

*Bake each pitta bread on medium heat , covered with the lid.

*Allow the bread to toast for about 3 minutes on each side.

*Once the bread is nice and toasty on each side remove from the heat and cover with a clean, dry, cotton towel.

*Repeat until all 6 pitta breads are cooked. 

*Store at room temperature for 2-3 days.

*You can freeze the ready pitta bread in your freezer and reheat before use. 

Enjoy!
