HOMEMADE PITA BREAD - GREEK FLATBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl whisk together all of the ingredients except of flour.
• Start incorporating the flour into the mixture while mixing the dough with your hands.
• Depending on the strength of the flour you're using you may need to add a bit less or a bit more. Knead the dough for a minute or two until it feels very soft but without leaving fragments on your hands.
• Shape dough into a ball, cover with a tea towel and rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• With a knife or dough cutter, divide the dough into 6 pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball.
• Lightly flour your working surface, take the first dough ball and roll on all sides (flip it once) until you have a 19 cm / 7.4 inch round flatbread.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Dip some paper towel into a bit of oil (I prefer olive oil) and lightly grease the bottom of the pan.
• Add the first flatbread and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side (don't let the pan get smoky hot remove from heat to cool if so). Flip the flatbread using a flat spatula.
• You may add flatbreads on top of each other creating a pile until you're finished making them. This way they won't air dry and stay more "elastic" if you're planning to use them as wraps.

GREEK FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt and yeast together and then stir in the warm water and olive oil to make a soft dough.
• Transfer to a floured surface and knead for five minutes until springy, using extra flour if it's too sticky.
• Shape into a ball, brush over a little more oil, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
• This should take about an hour.
• Knead again on a floured surface and divide into six pieces, rolling each chunk into a ball.
• Leave to rise for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 240 C or 475 F.
• Meanwhile, roll the balls flat until they're only 3mm or 1/8 of an inch thick and about 17cm or 7 inches across.
• Place on greased baking sheets, cover with a tea towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Spray the dough with water and bake for two minutes.
• Check to make sure they haven't gone hard and if not, bake for a couple minutes more.
• You want them firm but not hard or brown.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately with dips or as a wrap for all sorts of fillings.
• Great with kebabs!
• If you must serve them later, you can brush them lightly with oil and then reheat them by briefly heating them in a frying pan.

GREEK FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve honey in the warm water.
• Add yeast and let it dissolve and start to foam.
• In a large bowl, mix together salt and 3 1/2 cups of flour. Add the yeast mixture, oil, and milk.
• Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. Then, turn the dough out onto the counter and knead until smooth, adding the remaining flour as needed to create a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
• Place the dough back in the bowl, and let set, covered, for 1 hour, until doubled in bulk.
• When you are ready to cook the flatbread, preheat your oven to 375F.
• Knock back the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
• Roll the pieces out into circles ¼" thick using short strokes of the rolling pin.
• Place the rolled out flatbread on a greased baking sheet and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes, until cooked through and springy to the touch.
• Remove the cooked flatbread from the baking pan and immediately place them in a paper bag to cool. (The steam from the cooling bread in the bag will keep the flatbread soft and pliable.)

GREEK FLATBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the milk, 1/2 cup of water and yeast in a large cup. Mix it together
• In a separate large bowl, add the flour, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and sugar.
• Add the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Use your hand to mix it together. Later, add additional 1/4 cup of water to help mix and knead the dough. Keep kneading until the dough become soft and smooth. By that time, the dough will not stick to your hand.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Knead again for 30 seconds. This will give a very fluffy and smooth dough.
• Cover the dough with plastic and then a round plate. Leave it for 1 to 2 hours
• Once the dough grow, transfer into a clean and empty table. Make sure the table is dry and add few drops of flour to prevent the dough sticking to it.
• Use your hand to roll the dough into a long cylindrical shape. Use a knife to divide into 8 to 10 pieces. Shape each pieces into a ball.
• Add few drops of flour on the table before rolling each pieces of ball. Stroke the ball gently using the rolling pin to help make a nice circle flatbread.
• In a skillet or pan, turn on the fire on low or medium-low heat. Put the flatbread in the pan, and let it heat for 30 to 45 seconds or until it start to puff up.
• Once it started to puff up, flip it and heat that side for 30 to 45 seconds
• Transfer each flatbread into a plate. Cover it with warm towel to make sure bread remains warm and soft. Repeat the process of the rest of the flatbread.
