Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, instant yeast, and sugar. Mix thoroughly with a whisk to ensure an even distribution of all dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the lukewarm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a sticky dough forms. The dough should be moist but not overly wet.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes. This allows the dough to rise slightly and for the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions. Dust a clean work surface with a little more gluten-free flour to prevent sticking and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 6
Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a round about 1/4-inch thick. Ensure each pita is of even thickness to cook uniformly.
Step 7
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the pita dough one at a time onto the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pita puffs slightly and grill marks appear.
Step 8
Remove the grilled pita from the pan and wrap it in a clean towel to keep it soft while you cook the remaining pitas.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, dips, or as a sandwich wrap.
