How to Make Pita Bread | Lazy Sourdough Recipe | Simple Easy Homemade Flatbread |

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I love pita and I love sourdough but sometimes I can't be bothered to do it properly. This is my easy flatbread recipe that any beginner home baker can do and there is almost no hard work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
550g All Purpose Flour
200g of Sourdough Starter (100 % hydration)
300g of Warm Water (61% Hydration)
40g Olive Oil
20g of Sugar
15g of Salt
*note: in the video I use a starter that had been hibernating in the fridge, I wouldn't classify this as sourdough discard. If you are using discard then this might take longer. You can do the recipe by hand but that isn't the lazy way. You could also try mixing the dough and then letting sit in the fridge overnight.*
Mix the starter and water in the bowl of a stand mixer to make a milky liquid. Then simply add everything else to the bowl. Using the dough hook, mix the dough for about 10 minutes on medium speed. Then transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and allow to sit in a warm place (like a turned off oven) for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, divide the dough into 16 balls (or however many you like really). Set the balls of dough onto oiled and floured baking sheets, cover again with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and then place back into a warm place for an additional 2-3 hours.
At the end of the 2nd resting period, slowly preheat a skillet on the stove until it begins to lightly smoke then slightly reduce the heat. Roll out one of the dough balls into a disc about 1/4 inch thick and then carefully drape the dough into the skillet. Spritz with water (optional) and cover with a lid. Cook for about 2-3 minutes and then flip over to cook the other side. Allow to cool on a rack and repeat with the remaining dough.

    Thank you for sharing I will definitely try this sourdough recipe. As far as the pockets, I used to make a yeast pita bread recipe and you put the baking sheets in a 450° oven while it’s preheating then when you’re ready you throw your pizza dough on the hot baking sheets and they take 4-6minutes and they almost always pop up and have the pocket. Recipe also called for bread flour which is not required but gives a better rise

    Thank you for this recipe! The way to puff them up on the stovetop, is to heat the dough for 1 minute, then flip it for another minute, the puffing happens usually on the third flip. Good luck!

    May not have created pockets but flatbread is still good with hummus!

    please take my advise as a pita maker for years, after flatten it let it rest for 1-2 hours and then bake it in order to get air bucket inside. good luck next time

    Doesn’t need 1-2 hours after rolling out, just 30 minutes is enough.

    In the skillet version looked like you could manually split it into a pocket after you tore a piece off or was that just a bubble from the sourdough? Thank you..

    Hi. Your video is very funny. Although, to be clear, I think you are over complicating a process that (especially in the interest of being lazy) really is much less work than you’ve made it. Search for Autumn Kitchen’s Sourdough Pita recipe, and cut the baking time she suggests down a bit. I found her baking time gave me over-baked pitas…but, everything else works! Also, be sure to, as someone else recommended in another comment, to let your rolled out pitas rest/proof/rise before baking them. A couple of reasons you may not have been successful with getting your pitas to puff up in the oven are that you have been using too low temperature, and not letting them rest 20-30 minutes after rolling out. I bake pitas at 485F for 4 minutes. You don’t need to worry about burning yourself when turning them over, because you are NOT supposed to turn them over in the oven! Mine are fully puffed after 2 minutes, and fully baked at 4 minutes. One thing that you also really don’t need to do is to spray cooking oil on anything to do with pitas…not for any part of the process, unless you are cooking them in a pan, in which case, I think then it doesn’t matter. I use flour to keep pitas from sticking, after I have formed the divided dough into rounds (shaping) and for the 30 minute rest after shaping. Oil on the outside of the dough will burn in a 485F oven, so you really want to avoid having oil on the surface of the dough. (The oil that’s in the dough is fine, though.) Anyway, here’s to a way lazier process for you next time…at least if you’re open to new ideas and to making a few changes. Hey, it’ll give you way more time to make hummus, and way more time to search for fun videos on KZread! 😊 Note: Puffed pitas are filled with insanely hot steam! Be careful not to burn yourself! Another note: I toast pitas on the shortest setting in my toaster…to reheat, because I prefer them warm, which makes steam form inside the pocket…so, don’t be like me and forget that it’s insanely hot, even just after a minute in the toaster. Ouch! (My poor thumb.)
