It should look like this. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.

Step 5 of 13

Dough has risen and doubled in size.

Step 6 of 13

Turn out onto floured work surface.

Mistakes I made were. I rolled my pitas too thin. So my pita was flatter and crispy. It tasted good and had a pocket inside. I've seen some recipes that call for a little oil in the dough.

Step 8 of 13

Roll sections into flat circles. About 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick.

Lay onto sheet and cover. Let rise for 30 minutes.

It's risen and a little puffy.

Finished. Mine were kinda pale.

Step 13 of 13

I served with hummus.

Yes. It gets too thick. Some recipes call for a little oil in the dough. I added it the first time but not for this guide. It made no difference

I've seen a recipe that uses half wheat. I don't have any wheat flour at the moment. I think all wheat would change the recipe entirely.

Maybe brushing on oil would help the browning.

Michelle Ellington 12 months ago

Would whole wheat flour be okay to use? Or even half wheat half all purpose??
