Greek Style Pita Bread

Gyros are a wonderful healthy way to create a classic lunch or dinner platter, while offering variety and choice for even the pickiest eaters. In this recipe we’re utilizing Einkorn wheat flour, but you can use other flours as well.

Ingredients

1 lb + 5oz Einkorn flour (or other wheat flour)
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp instant yeast
2 cups water

Directions

Mix flour with salt and yeast.

Mix water with dry ingredients into dough with spoon.

Allow the dough mixture to rise at least 30% in volume before using.

After initial rise, limit further rising by keeping dough under refrigeration.

This mixture will be good to use for up to one week if refrigerated.

Scoop 1/2 cup to 1 cup of dough depending on the desired size and thickness of pita.

Roll out to 5-8 inches round and 1/8 to 1/4 inches thick.

Thicker pitas can be patted into shape with the palm of your hand or for thinner pitas a rolling pin works best.

Use plenty of flour when patting or rolling your dough so it doesn’t get stuck. You can always brush off the excess flour after baking.

Bake for 1 to 2 minutes per side on a hot griddle, in an oven at 300-500 degrees, or over some charcoal on the grill.
