159 HOW TO MAKE PITA BREAD.

[tiffanylower]

my pita's didnt puff, what did I do wrong?

[drbhaldave]

@tiffanylower

not puffed...means

1.not enough gas collection due to low carbon dioxide and not enough water or steam in the dough.2.check the temp of oven 450 or higher... low temp. not enough energy for gasses to release 3.Yeasts used for leavening , either not enough to raise the bread, or not allowed to leaven, or use of old yeast pkg, dead yeasts ... no CO2 generated to escape during puffing stage

[drbhaldave]

@drbhaldave

4.un-even leavening or kneading of the dough and rolling the dough too much, some CO2 escaped already.

5. not enough moisture or excessive drying out of dough can result in low moisture and due to such not enough steam generated to puff.

6.small pinholes during the rolling allows the gasses to escape prematurely.. and NO PUFF...?

I hope this explains enough to help you check it out when you make the next batch of PITA BREAD @ HOME.HAPPY BAKING

NOBENIH DRAGIH MASIN NI POTREBNO ZA OKUSNI DOMACI KRUH--FRISNI KRUH NA VELIKO DRUGACNIH NACINOV NE SAMO KOT STRUCE---Crna moka in malo olja in soli in kvasa--je odvisno kako ga obolikujete in kaksna temperatura za pecenje--PITA KRUH je potrebna visoka temperatura in te kruheve vrecke se lahko naplnijo z dobro frisno ali pa fizolovo solato---KRUH NA VEC NACINOV...

The secret is to really kneed the dough. It will become really elastic and puff up into a ball every time. A pizza stone is a must! Nothing better than dipping your fresh hot pita into Argan Oil. Soooo tasty!

TURKISH GROOVE is the CD! all the songs will be there. I spent many many weeks researching the artist.....You can buy the CD for $12.00usd. Best Regards to all of you that enjoy making Pita Bread as I do.

[cabwhisperer]

Thank you... lovely recipe, the bread was wonderful.

[loco140]

THANK-YOU VERY MUCH!!! You are so kind to post this info!

[knightwolf333]

I will have to try this recipe in a day or two. However to critique your video (Obviously I can not critique the recipe since I have not tried it my self yet.) why is it all still photos instead of flowing video. If you do not have a video camera (Neither do I.) or it is just your style that is ok, although I do prefer flowing video better and to me it is just easier to follow.

[knightwolf333]

However your scrolling of instructions across the screen was very annoying and hard (At least for me.) to write down all the info. I had to keep rewinding it several times and you did it multiple times. In the beginning it was fine with a whole "page" where I could pause the video and jot down notes, but shortly into the video it just kept scrolling across the page quite quickly. Could you keep it where it is all on screen at once please.

[knightwolf333]

Lastly, could you explain the purpose of inverting the baking sheet please. I am not sure why it has to be done. Is it because the lips of the sheet when it is in the oven normally browns or softens or cooks unevenly? Or do you just need a little extra room thus you can have it over hanging the sides with out overly smashing or deforming it?

[magicadespell56]

i never used the dry yeast in this.. only the cake. this is the best type of bread in the world

[aldi1963]

Thank you from all of my heart for this recepie.I will make today finaly homemade pita bread which my kids enjoy to eat:)

[ChrisEtler]

Thank you very much for the recipe! Can you please find out the titles of the songs you used ? it would be very helpful to me :) thx again

[drbhaldave]

i do not know , i just enjoy the tune , a bit less than the PITA BREADS ,I MAKE. Good food with good family and friends make it more enjoyable with good music and good homemade wine and in the end , good life for all of us. I do not know the source or the words, but i ENJOY THE QUICK RYTHEM AND TUNE, so enjoy it. ps. as an after thought , windows has a recorder or get one separate one and record it while playing it from my VIDEO ON THE internet. That's the best i can help. GOOD LUCK. BYE

[drbhaldave]

OKAY. if the dough is fermented right, and the rolling of the ball evenly done, and the cooking temperature is right about 500 oF, or more like a commercial bakery or earthen or tandoor oven pita bread will form TWO LAYERS. (NOT liars , check the meaning in dictionary,please. In USA many people use commersial pita breads, or POCKET BREAD OF egypt,syria,lebanon or any other similar country. it is the same method ,flour,yeast wate ferment,bake.

good luck. BYE. KEPP IN TOUCH.

[PontVedra]

@drbhaldave Thanks for this recipe...trying it now as i write. wanted to know if the other salad/tapenade was olives.if so,please give the recipe as well. thanks again . all looks delicious!

[tjflounder]

@drbhaldave

I am not sure what you are trying to say here? Please explain if you will? I thought the entire idea of making pita bread is that the "two layers separate and form a pocket" from high cooking.. I really want to get what you are referring to?

[LIGHTofIMAN]

veryyyyyyyyyy gooood inshaaAllah i will cook it soon

[drbhaldave]

make sure the oven is pre-heated with an inverted rectangular baking dish or a baking stone prior to rolloing the pita dough balls,let the dough balls or rolled breads rest for 15 minutes. Also after first doubling of the volume, do not wait for too long to bake the breads, they may not puff... you may end up with hard chips only. Use the breads ASAP.

[drbhaldave]

If you like the HUMMUS , you can change the flavors with differnt spices , italian mexican indian and chinese style hummus to go with pita chips, potato chips tortilla chips, corn chips. and so on...ENJOY.
