Vegan Greek Pita Bread

Let’s face it, homemade vegan Pita Bread is really the best. Did you know that you can make pita bread very easily? Most of the time goes in the rising of the dough. Within an hour you have homemade greek pita bread. No reason to buy it ready-made in the supermarket. We always immediately make more and then store the rest in the freezer. So when we need pita bread for vegan Shawarma, vegan Gyros, to dip in Humus, Sun Dried Tomato Tahin Dip or other spreads, we take it out of the freezer. You probably already have all the ingredients at home. Let us know in the comments how the pita breads turned out. Enjoy it!

6 Greek Pita Breads
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

1 sachet (7 g) instant dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
240 ml water, lukewarm
1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra to roll out dough)
340 g flour
1 tsp salt

Method

1. Put the yeast, sugar, water, olive oil, flour and salt in a bowl. Knead with a hand mixer (with kneading hook) for 5 minutes. Let the dough rise in the bowl and cover for 40 minutes.
2. Spread some olive oil on your work surface. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 6 equal balls. Roll out with a rolling pin until you get a nice round of about 20 cm.
3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, put the rolled dough in the pan. Bake brown on both sides for about 3 minutes.

Tip: If your dough is still very wet or sticks to your fingers, add a little more flour at the time.
