Pitta Bread
Makes 6
Pitta bread are made using a slight variation to the basic bread recipe. They provide a great alternative to sandwiches to house an array of sweet or savoury fillings.
Before you start, pre-heat the oven to
220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7 and lightly grease a baking tray.
ingredients:
- 1 packet JUVELA Gluten-Free Mix
- 1 sachet easy blend dried yeast (supplied with Mix)
- 1tsp salt
- 2tbsp vegetable oil
- 250ml (½pt) warm water approx.
Method:
Empty the whole packet of Mix into a large bowl. Stir in the sachet of yeast and the salt ensuring it is evenly distributed. Stir in the oil and sufficient warm water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead the dough until smooth on a surface lightly dusted with Mix.
Divide the dough into 12 pieces, cover and allow to stand for approx 40 minutes. Re-knead each piece and then roll out thinly into an oval shape. Place onto baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven for 7-8 minutes until golden. Stack in a polythene bag whilst still warm (this ensures that the pittas stay soft as they cool). Slice open and fill or cut into slices and serve with dips*.
