Pita Bread
Pita bread stuffed/filled with a good salad is a perfect lunch or dinner a hot summer day. But this pita bread tastes great with a good spread like tzatziki and a glass of red wine.
Ingredients:
- 30 g live yeast (2 teaspoons dry yeast)
- 350 g water, finger-warm
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 500 g all-purpose flour
Directions:
Dissolve the live yeast in the water. If you use dry yeast, add some sugar to the water and wait a few minutes till the yeast start to foam.
Add the salt to half the flour, and mix it in the yeast/water mixture. Add the rest of the flour a little at a time, until the dough is elastic but not sticky. You might not need all the four. Knead the dough for 5-6 minutes on medium on a stand mixer.
Let the dough rise covered for about 1 hour, until the dough is doubled in volume.
Pour the dough unto a flour dusted workplace. Cut the dough up into 6-8 parts, and roll them into balls.
Preheat the oven to 500? (250?), with a pizza stone in.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchmentpaper.
Roll each ball into a flat circle and leave the breads to rise on the baking sheets, covered for about 10 minutes.
Bake the Pita breads for about 7-9 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed up as small pillows. Let thew Pita's cool on a wire rack, covered with a kitchen towel.
Enjoy!
6-8 stk
Pitabrød
Ingredienser:
- 30 g gær (2 tsk tørgær)
- 350 g lunkent vand
- 1 tsk salt
- 500 g hvedemel
Fremgangsmåde:
Opløs gæren i vandet. Bruger du tørgær, så kom en smule sukker i og vent til det skummer.
Kom salten i halvdelen af melet og ælt det i gærblandingen. Kom resten af melet i lidt ad gangen, indtil dejen er smidig uden at være klistret. Det er ikke sikkert at du skal bruge al melet.
Sæt dejen til hævning i omkring 1 time, indtil dejen er doblet i volumen.
Hæld dejen ud på et meldrysset bord, og del dejen i 6-8 lige store dele. Rul hver del til en bolle.
Opvarm ovnen til 500? (250?) evt. med en bagesten i. Kom bagepapir på et par bageplader.
Rul hver bolle ud til en flad cirkel. Læg brødene på bagepladerne og lad den hæve tildækket i ca 10 minutter.
Bag brødene i 7-9 minutter indtil de er lysebrune og pustede op. Afkøl brødene på en bagerist med et viskestykke over.
Velbekomme!
