Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine spelt flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough feels sticky, add a small amount of spelt flour, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it is workable.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 5
While the dough rests, preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
After resting, roll each dough ball into a flat circle about 1/8 inch thick using a rolling pin.
Step 7
Place one rolled-out dough circle onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form and the bottom develops brown spots.
Step 8
Flip the pita and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until puffed and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough circles.
Step 9
Remove the cooked pitas from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for later use.
