Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine spelt flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough feels sticky, add a small amount of spelt flour, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it is workable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
While the dough rests, preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
After resting, roll each dough ball into a flat circle about 1/8 inch thick using a rolling pin.
Place one rolled-out dough circle onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form and the bottom develops brown spots.
Flip the pita and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until puffed and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough circles.
Remove the cooked pitas from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for later use.
