Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients to your bread maker in this order: warm water, olive oil, honey, salt, whole wheat flour, and instant yeast.
Set your bread maker to the 'Dough' setting and start the machine. This process typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours for kneading and the first rise.
Once the dough is ready, prepare a clean, lightly floured work surface. Turn the dough out onto it and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.
Preheat a skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a baking stone or inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat.
For stovetop cooking: Place one pita at a time into the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, or until you see bubbles. Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the pita puffs and develops golden spots.
For oven cooking: Place pitas directly on the heated baking surface. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until they puff up and are lightly golden.
Remove cooked pitas and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Repeat with the remaining dough. Serve fresh or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
