I’m doing (or preparing to do) a lot of experimenting with pizza dough ingredients ! Unfortunately, I haven’t quite decided how many, maybe 6, or 18 or 36 experiments ! In the meantime, just a little experiment with pita flatbread dough. I’ve decided to create my own flour mix using regular all-purpose flour with the addition of wheat gluten to give it more stretch and also a mix of starches which I’ve used before in gluten-free breads to give them more stretch and chewiness too ! You can use regular bread flour of course with a high percentage of protein of 14-16% (which also means high-gluten which is a protein). Unfortunately, my bread flour has a lot of salt already added into it, which affects the fresh yeast I use (salt kills yeast) and hence the rise, which is why I used salt-free flour and added my own extra stuff ! Back to the pita bread that we usually buy in sealed plastic bags … I must tell you that even though bread from the bakery is wonderful, pita breads from the supermarket usually are not and are not difficult to make so why not make your own ? It’s quite easy and also fun, it will always be better than what you buy at the supermarket, you can make them in small, medium or large sizes and use them for sandwiches, wraps and even pizza, or just as bread ! I also figured out an easier way of forming them without a rolling pin (to avoid rolling all the air out of them) by simply using your hands and fingers, so give it a try ! See you soon … :)
