Yield Makes 8 pita breads = 16 pita pockets

Number Of Ingredients 5

500g (4 1/4 c) Whole wheat flour* - 100%
360g (1 1/2 c + 2 Tbs) Water - 72%
12g (1 Tbs) Olive oil - 2.4%
10g (1 1/2 tsp) Salt - 2%
5g (1 tsp) Instant yeast - 1% or 70g (1/4 c) Sourdough starter - 14%

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil to the water. If making the sourdough version, mix the starter into the water too.
  • Mix the combined dry ingredients into the water until well incorporated and let it rest (covered) for 10 minutes.
  • Knead for 5-10 minutes or do a series of stretch and folds as described in the video.
  • Cover with plastic and let proof for about 8-12 hours.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal size portions and form them into balls. Roll the ball into round disks somewhere around 3/16 - 1/4 inch thick.
  • Bake at 500ºF (260ºC) on fully preheated stone for about 6 minutes.
  • Pitas are ready to eat just 10 minutes after removing from oven.
