Suzy, what is your favorite brand of all-purpose flour to use? Also, I may have missed it, but are you using Active Dry Yeast? Thank you for this great tutorial! 🙂
Do you have a link for those towels? And that square cast iron oven pan? And do you ever use wheat flour? Or is this standard white flour? What brand of flour do use?
I love this recipe and have made it. I proof the dough in a bowl that fits my instant pot on yogurt setting, roll out on silicon baking mat and cook in Lodge 12” cast iron skillet. It comes out awesome and I had it for breakfast today. Thank you!
I bought your cookbook a few days ago and can't put it down! Three recipes in and today was the Pita Bread. It was the best I’ve ever had! Even after visiting various Mediterranean countries, this is THE BEST! I’m off to the market to buy more ingredients! I'm hooked! Thank you!
I love home made pita. Occasionally I am in a hurry and I will pick up uncooked pizza dough from the market. Divide into 6 and roll and cook the same way. Not a bad substitute
This is a beautiful bread, thank you. One question though, can I freeze the dough? I live on my own and I find this amount is too much for me to eat. I've switched to the Mediterranean diet because I need to protect my health. Your channel is helping people like me. Thank you.
1 cup lukewarm water 2 tsp active dry yeast ½ tsp sugar 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided (or 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour and 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour) 1 to 2 teaspoon kosher salt (I used Diamond Crystal kosher salt) 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil),
To make whole wheat pits, use 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour and 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour. If you want to make gluten free pita, you can simply replace the flour with the same amount of an all-purpose gluten free flour. Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten free flour or Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour will work in this recipe.
Thank you! I love pita bread, but it's not readily available where I live (Italy). I will, definitely, give this recipe a try (using our own olive oil, of course!), and then pack the pockets full of . . . Well, I'll just pack the pockets full!! Again, thank you!
Discovered you via your cookbook that I found and purchased in Target. Looking forward to making some of your delicious recipes! ☺️😁 I do have a request/question: do you have already or could you do a brief series on pairing dishes to make a satisfying meal? Do you serve 5-7 dishes most nights even while working full time? Or do you do 2-3? What do you tend to serve together to make a filling, satisfying dinner spread?
How long would I need to knead in a Kenwood with a dough hook. I have shoulder problems and difficult to knead. I live in the land of pitta bread on a Greek island and would like to give it a try please.
Possibly, but it would be best to start with at least 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour... then adjust from there on future attempts. We have not had the best success ourselves using all whole wheat flour with this specific recipe as written. We feel like more tweaks are needed to make that work.
You can simply replace the flour here with the same amount of an all-purpose gluten free flour. Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten free flour or Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour will work in this recipe.
Oh my! She actually used oven mitts to pull sponge out?! If it that hot your sponge is ruined! It’s best to use sourdough starter anyway. Much healthier as well as einkorn flour and not dirty white flour!
To bake pita in the oven: Heat the oven to 475 degrees F and place a heavy-duty baking pan or large cast iron skillet on the middle rack to heat. Working in batches, place the rolled-out pitas directly on the hot baking baking sheet (I was only able to fit 2 at a time). Bake for 2 minutes on one side, and then, using a pair of tongs, carefully turn pita over to bake for 1 minute on the other side. The pita will puff nicely and should be ready. Remove from the oven and cover the baked pitas with a clean towel while you work on the rest of the pitas.
This homemade pita bread recipe is easy to make and requires a few ingredients you may already have on hand! Who's making it?!
I am!!

@@amyevans5264 Yes, active dry yeast! And, I like Bob's Red Mill all purpose flour.

Thanks for sharing about the instant pot! I don’t have an oven, so I can use my instant pot.

Awww! Thank you for the kind note and for your support! So glad you're enjoying the cookbook so far!
Yes, old school is best!. 😊
I love how you throw the uncooked pita on the pan in the oven - great skill!
Cant wait to make this soon for me i never had pita bread before perfect for my after office snacks

Thank you!

You make it look easy enough
This pita bread looks so soft and delicious! Thank you for sharing
lol Gotta love talk to type.
We followed your video and have make a set of lively pita bread. Thank you for your video n receipe!
Thank you for this video! My attempt didn’t turn out well previously and I think it’s because I didn’t knead long enough. So helpful!
Thanks Suzy !
Those Pita breads look great!
Can’t wait to try your recipe
Thank you
the goal is to get it to puff up and it is so fun when it does! the trick is to not over flour

I gotta try this. I love to stuff them with eggs and veggies for breakfast ❤😋
Yum!

Look so easy ❤
Can you please do a whole wheat version for those on special diets? Thanks!
To make whole wheat pits, use 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour and 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour.

I like the way how is she doing all that staying so clean in the same time. If I pass near flour I look like a Columbian drug lord.
😂😂😂😂
☠️🤣😂
Can make the dough in my bread machine on dough cycl
❤thanks
i want to make it to wrap my doner kebab rolls//souvlaki gyros.
what changes should i make ?
Can you please teach me how to make Egyptian baladi bread?
Could you use whole wheat flour? What would the sizes of the flours be?
You can use whole wheat four, use 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour and 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour.
@@TheMediterraneanDish thank you so very much!

I can do pita bread in the oven.
Yes, she showed this method at 8:50
It looks easy, but time-consuming. I'll have to carve out a chunk of time to try this recipe.
No need to fry, just put in a oven its done.
possible to ad measurements in weight and not simply in cups spoons etc? thank you.
As if the website wasn't good enough ... Thanks for the visual aid!
What do you mean when you were kneading the dough saying you’re making the gluten?? What if you use gluten-free flour?
You can simply replace the flour here with the same amount of an all-purpose gluten free flour. Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten free flour or Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour will work in this recipe.
@@TheMediterraneanDish Thank you 😊

😇👍🏾
I learned not using yeast. Much more simpler way.
I made this and it didn’t work out:( my dough wasn’t becoming smooth like urs
No pizza dough is the easiest bread to make in the kitchen. Not this

Pull your claws in! Women should support other women, not be so b**chy.
I suspect the oven glove was just habit. She's a cook, it'll be hard wired into her to put an oven glovebox on when she goes to the oven. Lighten up.
Dang. No yeast~
???? She added yeast
bad way iseen bita bread all my life.
how come you aint using no season n shiiiiie aint got no flavor put some lemon pepper and pineapple ranch gurl! shonuff!
It ain't pizza
