Pita
Pita is a flat, round, soft bread or roll that originated in the Middle East. It is often served as a side dish with various dishes or used as a base for sandwiches. They can be served warm or kept wrapped in a tea towel to preserve their softness. Just perfect for dipping, filling with hummus or other treats.

Ingredients
- 250 g spelled flour type 1050
- 200 ml lukewarm water
- 50 g tapioca starch
- 2 g salt
- 1 tsp date flour
- 4 g dry yeast
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together and knead.
- Cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
- Then let the dough slide carefully on a floured surface, shape with flour and divide into 4 portions.
- Shape each pita dough piece into a round shape, then cover and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Then carefully roll out each portion into small round flatbreads approx. 1 – 2 cm thick. Make sure not to press the pita dough pieces together so that they stay nice and fluffy.
- Heat an enameled pan.
- Add each pita individually and cook on each side until fluffy.
- Alternatively, the pitas can also be placed on a tray lined with baking paper and baked in the oven at 200 degrees for around 10 minutes.
- Cut a pocket in the middle of the finished pitas so they can be filled with vegetables, salad or tofu. Or just be enjoyed as a side dish with yoghurt sauce or another dip.
Tip
Warm the rolls in the oven before eating.
