Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 batch Master Dough (Recipe 309834)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Master Dough (Recipe 309834) as outlined in its instructions. Ensure the dough has gone through its initial rise and is ready to use.
2. Lightly dust a clean work surface with all-purpose flour. Transfer the dough onto the surface and gently knead it for about 1 minute to smooth it out.
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions using a dough scraper or knife.
4. Roll each portion into a ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a 6-inch round disk. Make sure the thickness is uniform to ensure even cooking.
5. Lightly grease a skillet or frying pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
6. Cook the pita bread one at a time. Place a disk of dough in the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to form and the bottom is golden brown.
7. Flip the pita onto the other side and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. The bread may puff up, creating a pocket. This is normal and desired!
8. Repeat the process with the remaining dough disks, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
9. Transfer the cooked pita bread to a clean kitchen towel and cover to keep warm and soft while cooking the rest.
10. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite fillings, dips, or spreads!
