Homemade Pita Bread
Greek yogurt flatbread is made with only four simple ingredients.
Equipment
- cast iron skillet or non-stick pan
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour + 1/4 cup more to sprinkle down to roll out dough
- 3 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups plain greek yogurt.
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and yogurt. Mix well into a dough ball. Cover with a cloth and let sit for 20 min.
- Sprinkle flour down on your workspace. Starting with your hands, roll the dough into a long log. (like the look of a rolling pin) Make 7 equal cuts and separate the dough. This means you will have 8 equal pieces of dough.
- Using more flour on your workspace and the dough roller, begin to roll out each piece into a round and flat pita.
- On a cast-ron skillet or non-stick pan, drizzle a little olive oil (1/2 tbsp) and cook each dough one by one cooking for 2 minutes on each side. Make sure you add a little olive oil to the skillet before cooking each piece.
- Serve warm or store in a plastic zip-lock bag for up to 5 days. You can refridgerate to keep its freshness and microwave for 10 seconds to reheat.
Notes
You can use the self-rising dough. If you choose to do so, you will not need to add the baking powder or salt.
