Easy Homemade Lebanese Pita Bread Recipe
Nothing beats the taste of warm, puffy, freshly baked Lebanese pita bread. This flavorful recipe is so easy, you'll wonder why you ever settled for store-bought pita.
Lebanese Pita Bread Recipe
Prep time:
Ingredients
1 ¼ cup warm water (100-110°F) 285 milliliters
1 Tablespoon instant dry yeast 10 grams
½ teaspoon white granulated sugar 2 grams, optional
1 cup whole wheat flour 150 grams
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour 250 grams, plus more for dusting
2 Tablespoons olive oil 23 milliliters, plus more for greasing
1 teaspoon salt 7 grams
Instructions
1. Mix the dough: Pour the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar (optional) into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Stir. Add the whole wheat, all-purpose flour, salt and olive oil to the activated yeast mixture. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed for about 3 minutes. Raise the speed to medium and mix - about 3-5 minutes. The dough is done when it is smooth and elastic.
2. First proof: Using a dough scraper or your hands, scrape away the dough from the sides of the mixing bowl to form a smooth ball (seam side down). Drizzle a little olive oil on top and cover the entire surface of the dough ball including the bottom with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or silicone cover and place it in a warm spot. Let the dough rise until it doubles in size - about 1- 1 ½ hours.
3. Preheat the oven: Place a pizza stone/pizza steel/invested cast iron skillet/griddle on the middle rack. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Once the oven reaches 500°F continue to heat for 30 minutes.
4. Make the pita dough balls: Divide the dough into 8 even pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Tuck in any seams underneath the ball. Place on a baking tray with enough space for the dough to double. Brush all exposed sides with a little olive oil. Cover with a wet towel, and rest for 15 minutes.
5. Roll out the dough balls: Cut some parchment into 8 7 inch x 7 inch squares. Place a dough ball onto the parchment square. Using a flour-dusted rolling pin, toll each dough ball into a 7 inch diameter circle. Each dough circle should be about a ¼ inch thick and will just fit the parchment square. Cover the dough circle with a wet towel. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
6. Bake the pita bread:
Oven: Place 2 dough circles on the pizza stone towards the back of the oven. Bake until puffed - about 2 minutes. There is no need to flip the pita. Close the oven door and wait for 1-2 minutes for the oven to heat up again. Repeat with the remaining dough. Note: The pita will not puff up if the oven temperature drops.
Stovetop: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with olive oil. Add a rolled-out pita. Once bubbles begin to form, (about 30-40 seconds) flip the pita. The pita should fully puff up in about a minute. Flip once more and cook for even browning - about 2 minutes. Cool the pita on a wire rack and cover with a towel.

Ingredients for 8 Greek Pita:
• 1 kg All Purpose Flour
• 600 ml Warm Water
•1 tsp Brown Sugar
•1 tsp salt
•7g Dry Yeast
•4 tbsp Olive Oil
Step 1:
In a bowl, add 600g all-purpose flour. Using a cup, dissolve the yeast and the sugar in 300ml warm water. Add the yeast mixture over the flour.
Step 2:
In another cup, dissolve the salt in 300ml warm water and incorporate it in the flour mixture. Add 4 tbsp Olive Oil and start kneading the dough.
Step 3:
Incorporate gradually the rest of the flour until the dough has an elastic texture.
Step 4:
Let it rest in a warm place for 40 minutes until doubled in size.
Step 5:
Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and start forming the Greek pitas by using a floured rolling pin. Roll them into circles of 8-9 inches wide and about a quarter inch thick. Warm a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and grease it with olive oil. Lay a rolled-out pita on the skillet and bake for 1 minute, until you see bubbles starting to form. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side, until large toasted spots appear on the underside. Keep the cooked pitas covered with a clean dishtowel while cooking any remaining pitas.
Bon Appetit!
Middle Eastern Pita bread. A classic versatile flatbread
Here's how I like to make Arabian style pitta (pita) breads. These differ from the Greek ones in shape, thickness and texture. They're a very versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches or dipping and the recipe is deceptively easy.

Ingredients (makes 6 80g Pittas or see below for other sizes):
300g (10.6 oz)AP flour
85g (3 oz) Milk whole or part skim
85g (3 oz) Water
20g (0.7 oz) Olive oil
13g (0.45 oz) Sugar
8.5g (0.3 oz) Salt
7.5g (0.26 oz) Active or Dry yeast or 18-19g (0.63-0.67 oz) Fresh Yeast
Recommended sizes:
7 inch pitta - 80g balls - recipe yields 6
6 inch pitta - 70g balls - recipe yields 7
5 inch pitta - 60g balls - recipe yields 8
4 inch pitta - 45g balls - recipe yields 10
----
Directions:
1. Add the water and milk to a jug and check the temperature. If it's cold warm it up to room temperature and no hotter
2. Add the sugar and yeast to the milk and stir to combine. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes to bloom
3. After 10-15 minutes check if the yeast has activated and a frothy layer exists, if not your yeast is dead and the dough will not rise
4. Add the flour and salt to your mixing bowl, and mix briefly to combine
5. Make a well in the centre and add the yeast mixture and the oil. Use the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer or your hands to combine the yeast and flour together into a shaggy dough ball
6. Knead on low speed for 8-10 minutes with the mixer or 12-15 by hand until the dough ball is smooth and soft. It should be only a tiny bit sticky to the hand
7. Oil a bowl lightly then add your dough to the bowl, ensure there is space for it to double in size. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and allow it to rise for 1 hour
8. After one hour flour your worktop and place the risen dough on it. Knock out the air and cut into the desired number of pieces
9. Weigh your pieces to ensure they are all equally sized, then roll the dough into balls. Keep them covered until needed
10. Flour your worktop then flatten a dough ball on it. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to the correct size in one direction. Turn it 90 degrees and roll the other way
11. Allow your dough to rise for between 15-30 minutes before cooking
Note: If you are working with more than 12 pieces of dough, I do not recommend rolling them all out at once. After they have sat and risen for more then 40 minutes without cooking they will over proof and you'll have to re-roll them and wait for them to rise again otherwise they will fail to inflate. Work in batches while the rest are cooking.
To cook Pitta in the oven:
1. Preheat your oven to it's hottest temperature with fan
2. Place a pizza stone or steel in the middle of your oven, or use an oven tray by placing it upside down. Allow the oven to preheat fully with the tray inside
3. Once heated, toss on a rolled out pitta. I prefer doing 1 at a time but you can do multiple if you want to speed things up
4. Cook until it puffs up, and a brown ring forms around the edge. In my oven at 240c this took 3 minutes and a half. I would recommend testing a single pitta first to figure out your exact timing on the temperature you use.
5. Remove the pitta once browned and immediately place on a tray or plate. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rest before serving
To cook in the pan:
1. Preheat a heavy bottomed pan over high heat
2. Add in a rolled out pitta to the pan, allowing it to cook for 30-45 seconds
3. Every 30-45 seconds flip the pitta over until it inflates and browns on the outside
4. Remove and allow it to rest
These will stay good for 3-4 days in an air tight container and they freeze great
