Soft Pita Bread Recipe (No Yeast)

Soft Pita Bread Recipe (No Yeast)

Ingredients:

• 350g all-purpose flour, plus 10–20g extra for dusting
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 200ml hot water

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, combine 350g flour and salt. Mix well.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
   Add the vegetable oil to the flour mixture. Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring with a spoon or your hands until the dough starts coming together.
3. Knead the Dough:
   Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little extra flour if the dough is too sticky.
4. Rest the Dough:
   Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes. This helps make the pitas soft and pliable.
5. Shape the Pitas:
   Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten with a rolling pin into circles about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Cook the Pitas:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place a dough circle in the hot pan and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until puffed and lightly golden. Repeat with remaining pieces.
7. Serve:
   Stack the pitas in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft. Serve warm with dips, sandwiches, or your favorite fillings.

These pitas are soft, slightly chewy, and perfect for quick homemade sandwiches.
