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.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.
