Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the surface becomes foamy.
Step 2
Add 2 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a sticky dough forms.
Step 3
Add olive oil to the dough and continue mixing until incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, mixing until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead with the dough hook on medium speed for about 5 minutes. If kneading by hand, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for approximately 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once the dough is elastic and smooth, shape it into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 6
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Step 7
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin.
Step 8
Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with some olive oil.
Step 9
Carefully place one circle of dough into the hot skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the pita bread puffs up and develops golden brown spots.
Step 10
Remove the cooked pita bread from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover with a clean towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining dough circles.
Step 11
Serve the Dairy-Free Greek Pita Bread warm, or allow it to cool and store it in an airtight container.
