Easy to make Pita Bread. Don't wait to make this fluffy, soft, airy, and homemade pita bread. Perfectly puffed up this pita bread is easy and way better than store-bought ones. It is also vegan and kid-approved.
Trust me this easy pita bread is just killer and I don't know why I took this much time to document them on my blog! It's crazy. Isn't it? When I first made them around 5-6 years ago, I was really impressed. The only problem is that whenever I baked them (which was not very frequently, I admit) I was not able to take pictures. Hence no blog post. This time I made sure I had a few minutes left for a quick photoshoot. No elaborate setting is needed.
How to make it?
The making of pita bread is a super easy and simple process. If you have made pizza or any type of bread, it's nothing like that. Not much kneading is involved either. I think it's just perfect for making at home and for not-so-great bakers like me.
Why bake Pita Bread at home?
Home-made, just out of the oven warm bread is a slice of heaven and if you have not tried it or experienced it I insist that you do. My family loves warm bread of any kind so for them I love to do it. Home-made bread is a much healthier and superior alternative to store-bought ones. With you, baking at home means no preservatives, high-quality ingredients, and fresh bread. A total win-win situation.
What Ingredients are required to make this?
All-purpose Flour/Whole Wheat Flour/Bread Flour-It depends on your taste however I always prefer to have a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. That gives so much depth of flavor to the pit bread.
Instant Yeast /Active Dry Yeast-I prefer to use instant yeast but feel free to use active dry yeast. Proof it in warm milk or water first before adding to the flour of course.
Sugar
Salt
Olive Oil
Warm Water I prefer to make it vegan so don't prefer to use milk but this certainly is an option in case you want it.
