Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for grilling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and stir to form a soft dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten and roll out each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the rolled-out pita discs onto the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the pita is puffed up.
Remove the pita bread from the grill and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Serve the grilled pita bread warm, as a side, or stuffed with your favorite vegan fillings.
