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
- 0 Extra flour for dusting
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 2
Add 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and the salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
Step 3
Add the olive oil and continue mixing the dough until it becomes smooth. You may need to add more flour, up to 1/2 cup, if the dough is sticky.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for around 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it once to coat the surface. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 8
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Place the rolled-out dough rounds onto the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread puffs up and grill marks appear.
Step 10
Remove the pita from the grill and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Step 11
Repeat the grilling process with the remaining dough rounds.
Step 12
Serve the dairy-free grilled pita bread warm. Enjoy as a side with hummus, used for sandwiches, or alongside your favorite Mediterranean dishes.
