Pita Bread recipe Marjorie's

[MarjoriesCandies]

these bread need a very hot oven around 450 degrees F. for about 5 minutes. Watch the breads allowing them to puff up and brown the tops just a little.

[beatfacehoneyfan]

What temperature and for how long please!

[MarjoriesCandies]

Assuming that the yeast that you used was working properly, did you roll them out to 1/4 inch thick? That is very important. Too thick and they won't "pocket".

Anyone else have any ideas?

I am sorry that you had difficulty.

I was looking for a Pita/tortilla recipe, and you had me when you giggled at the beginning. Here's why. I have a cat that I call Pita-Bread when he's being extra sucky. lol! I will try this recipe, it seems fairly easy. If I can bake bread, surely I can bake these babies! Jazz (the Pita) says Meow! ;)

I didnt catch the temperature on your stove or baking time.What was it? I've wanted to learn to make these for a long time. Now I can.

[MarjoriesCandies]

No I did not preheat the baking sheets before putting the unbaked pockets on them.

Thank you for asking

Margie

Perfect pita pokits .. Did u preheat the baking sheet before you put the dough on it ?

[MarjoriesCandies]

Sounds wonderful, thank you so much for that information. It is so important that when bread is a part of a meal that it be great!

I am going to try this.

[MarjoriesCandies]

Nope, the stone will be fantastic to bake them on!!

I wish I had one.

Have fun.

I can't wait to try these! Will I get the same result using my baking stone? I actually bought it more for Pita's and Naan and Flatbreads as those are my very favorites for sandwiches and pizza's!

Do you have any special recommendations or changes for any reason when using a baking stone? FYI..I just got the Emile Henry (I think pronounced Ameel Ahnray) and I am so excited to try it for pita's!

Thanks and love your videos..Tim

That is a very good question!

Start out with 3 cups of flour and continue to add more slowly as needed.

Flour can always be added, but it cannot be taken out.

The liquid in the dough gets absorbed by the flour. That is one of the reasons why dough is allowed to rest in between steps.

The end product will be a lot lighter when less flour is used.

So to answer your question.

3-4 cups flour ... I will take a look at the recipe.

Thank you,

Margie
