Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Appetizer
- 200 gr. / 7 oz. spelt flour
- 230 gr. / 8 oz. lukewarm water
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 120 gr. / 4 ¼ oz. all-purpose Flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Add all the ingredients in your stand mixer’s bowl and mix gently until the dough is smooth and supple.
- The dough is a bit sticky but this is how it should be.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise at room temperature for about 60 minutes.
- It will rise a bit but it is not as much as when you make bread.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 260° C / 500° F.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into eight pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and allow them to rest for 15 minutes, covered.
- Lightly dust your counter and sprinkle some flour on top of each ball, then roll them into circles about 15 cm / 6 in. in diameter.
- Position one rack at the bottom of the oven and have a baking sheet at the ready.
- Transfer the pitas to the baking sheet and bake for about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the pitas and as they are still hot wrap them with a clean textile dishtowel.
- Serve on the side or fill them with your favorite filling.
