Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Plain yogurt (gluten-free)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt together until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, egg, and plain yogurt until smooth and integrated.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir well until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it sit in a warm place for about 30 minutes to allow the batter to rise slightly.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or an upside-down baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Line a surface with parchment paper, lightly dust it with gluten-free flour, and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 7
Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin. Keep the discs covered under a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Step 8
Carefully place each disc onto the hot baking stone or baking sheet, leaving space between each pita.
Step 9
Bake for 6-8 minutes until the pitas puff up and are lightly browned. They should be slightly soft and chewy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and place the pita breads on a clean cloth. Wrap them to trap steam to stay soft.
Step 11
Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing. Enjoy with your favorite fillings or dips.
