Anleitungen
Pita Dough
- Dissolve the yeast together with the honey in the water. Put the flour in a mixing bowl, add the yeast mixture slowly, while stirring, knead it briefly. Then add the salt and olive oil and knead it for 5 to 10 minutes with your hands or by using a kitchen machine. Form the dough into a ball and let it rise, covered, in a relatively warm place for 90 minutes so that the dough can double in volume.
Shape the Pita Breads
- Briefly knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide it into four to (four to) six equal-sized pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a small ball and roll it out with rolling pin to a flat pita, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the pita breads rise again, covered, for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 210°C or 410°F.
Bake
- Fill the oven proof bowl with some water. Place it on the bottom of your oven and bake the pita breads for 8 minutes.
