Yield Makes 8 pita breads = 16 pita pockets

Number Of Ingredients 5

500g (4 1/4 c) Whole wheat flour* - 100%
360g (1 1/2 c + 2 Tbs) Water - 72%
12g (1 Tbs) Olive oil - 2.4%
10g (1 1/2 tsp) Salt - 2%
5g (1 tsp) Instant yeast - 1% or 70g (1/4 c) Sourdough starter - 14%

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil to the water. If making the sourdough version, mix the starter into the water too.
  • Mix the combined dry ingredients into the water until well incorporated and let it rest (covered) for 10 minutes.
  • Knead for 5-10 minutes or do a series of stretch and folds as described in the video.

I've tried a lot of pita bread recipes, but this one is definitely the best. The dough is so easy to work with and the pita bread bakes up perfectly every time. I love the slightly tangy flavor of the dough.
