Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
Add the following ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer: warm water, olive oil, honey, salt, whole wheat flour, bread flour, and instant yeast.
Choose the dough cycle on your bread machine and press start. Let the machine knead and rise the dough (approximately 1.5 hours).
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the balls with a lightly damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well; otherwise, use a baking sheet for cooking.
Roll each dough ball into a 1/4-inch thick circle (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter). Ensure they are evenly rolled so they puff uniformly during baking.
Place the rolled dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly onto the preheated baking stone. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the pitas are puffed and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and stack the pitas inside a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft while cooling.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.
