Going to make these tonight. I’m going to make it as the recipe states but love a recipe for pita without oil due to health concerns. ]]>
Best pitta bread on my third batch ]]>
Sounds good. I am happy that you like the recipe for homemade pita bread. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)
]]>It worked, I used wholemeal plain flour and granary bread flour and used my mixer, otherwise I followed your recipe to the letter. As promised they were puffy and light and delicious. I'll be showing my grandson how to make these next. ]]>
Thanks for a very nice comment on my recipe for homemade pita bread :-) Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

being an israeli, i tried so many times to make the proper pita. but was unsuccessful to have them puff until now!!
the result is amazing. exactly like at home. (thinkness , smoothness, and taste).
however.
1. i think the quantity of flour is a little small. because the doe is wet. so i have to add flour to make the doe not stick.
2. as soon as the pita rises, this is when you need to take the pita out. (not 5-6 mins). it is around 2 mins .
it is ok if the pita is white.
3. since we all use home oven, i put the oven plate to the top position (so it get very hot), and when ready to put the pita, i put the 2 pita and lower it to the middle.
i put parchment paper but it is not needed if we put some flour on the oven plate (the parchment burns...)
4. for the humus...
1 can of chickpeas (remove the water, keep 10 chick peas for the decoration)
2 table spoons of raw tahina (get any kind from Mediterranean store)
3 table spoons of lemon juice
(the lemon makes the tahina turn white, so the humus turns white too)
1 clove of garlic
mix everything with a hand mixer. add salt , pepper and a little cumin.
if to thick just add tiny water.
.decoration:
put the humus on a plate, and with a spoon make a hole in the middle of the plate
Pour olive oil all over the humus, sprinkle cumin, paprika, and parsly on the humus, (and the 10 chick peas saved)
enjoy:)
]]>Hi. That is a good question. I normally make them with fresh yeast and I don't have a problem that they are dry. Maybe you gave them a little too long in the oven or added a little too much flour? I would love to help but this is the best I can think of. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)
]]>Hi! I tried this recipe completely, my pita bread came out drier than the ones I make using dry yeast. What should I change to make them taste as fluffy and tender? ]]>
You are welcome. I'm happy that you like the recipe for pita bread and that you had success with it. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)
]]>Amazing recipe, the pita bread really puffed this time. We had them with baba ganoush. Next time we are thinking to stuff them as a doner kebab. Finally found a pita bread recipe that really worked out. Thank you ]]>
