  • After proofing punch down the excess air and knead the dough once again. Divide the dough into equal sized balls. Using a rolling pin roll them into small circles with almost ¼ inch thickness. Cover and allow it to sit for 10 mins.

Baked Pita Bread

  • Meanwhile preheat the oven at 200 Deg C for about 10 mins. Bake the pita bread at 200 Deg c for about 10 mins until it's puffed up and baked fully. That is how a perfect pits pocket looks. Use hummus, Mayo, or any other stuffing and enjoy the pita bread.

Stove Top Pita Bread

  • While preparing the Pita bread on the stovetop. Make sure your skillet is hot enough. Drizzle a few drops of water and test if its sizzles immediately. Heat a griddle and put the bread overnight. Slowly the pit bread puffs up and starts cooking. Flip and cook on both sides till you see light brown spots over the bread.
  • Place the bread in a hot box covered with a kitchen towel. It remains good for a long time.

Notes

Always Keep the Pita bread covered with Clean Kitchen towels.
