Pita Bread


Ingredients:
500g Bread flour/AP flour
160ml warm water
160ml warm milk
10g yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil

Other
Coriander leaves ~ chopped
Olive oil

Directions/Instructions:
  1. In a bowl of a Kitchen aid, add warm water, milk, sugar, and yeast.  Stir to mix together.
  2. Next step, add the flour, and salt mix for 5 minutes on low speed until the dough combine.  Then add in the olive oil mix for 12 minutes on medium speed. Thereafter ferment the dough again for 60 minutes until doubles in size.
  3. Turn the dough onto the board/table, and punch down the dough.  Divide the dough into 12-15 equal pieces, weight about 60g per bun.
  4. Using a floured rolling pin, roll one of the pieces into a circle about 8-9 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick.  Lift and turn the dough frequently so that the dough does not stick too much.  Repeat the other pieces of dough.
  5. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.  Drizzle a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil and wipe off any excess.  Work on one pita at a time, lay a rolled-out pita on the skillet, and cook for 30 seconds, until bubbles start to form.  Use a spatula to flip the pita over and cook for another 1-2 mins on the other side until large toasted spots appear on the underside.
  6. Remove from the skillet and brush some olive oil over the cooked pita.  Keep baked pita covered with a clean towel while working on the rest.  Repeat the same process till the end.
