Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and the salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
Add the olive oil and continue mixing the dough until it becomes smooth. You may need to add more flour, up to 1/2 cup, if the dough is sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for around 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it once to coat the surface. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the rolled-out dough rounds onto the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread puffs up and grill marks appear.
Remove the pita from the grill and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Repeat the grilling process with the remaining dough rounds.
Serve the dairy-free grilled pita bread warm. Enjoy as a side with hummus, used for sandwiches, or alongside your favorite Mediterranean dishes.
