Pita Bread
Pita Bread
Pita bread is fun and easy to make at home. The pita bread will balloon up into almost a ball while inside the oven, making it a fun recipe to bake with children. While the cooking time for each pita is only three minutes, the dough will need to rise, which may take 1 to 1½ hours, depending on the temperature in the room.
ANTES DE COMENZAR: Active dry yeast can be substituted in this recipe. If used, place the yeast and warm water in the mixing bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes prior to adding any ingredients.

Método de preparación
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add all the ingredients.
- Using the dough hook, knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and place into a greased container large enough to allow the dough to double in size.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in size.
- Place the solid pan in the steam oven on rack position 1. Turn the steam oven on by selecting the Convection Steam Mode set to 445°F.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and gently flatten each piece into a thick disc. Cover with plastic wrap or a dishcloth.
- Using a rolling pin, roll one piece of dough into a 7- to 8-inch circle. Dust the dough and countertop with flour to ensure that the pita bread does not stick.
- After the oven is preheated, slide the rolled-out pita bread onto a floured pizza peel.
- Open the steam oven door and slide the pita dough off the pizza peel onto the solid steam oven pan. Work quickly and shut the door. Set a timer for 3 minutes.
- While the first pita bread is baking, roll out the next pita. The pita bread should inflate into almost a ball.
- After 3 minutes, remove the baked pita from the oven and place in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with foil to allow the pita bread to soften.
- Repeat with the remaining pita dough, each time adding the baked pita bread to the bowl and covering again. Deflate the pita bread if necessary.
