Description

Pita bread is a popular Middle Eastern flatbread that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes or as a wrap. This version of pita bread is made using rice flour, making it suitable for those who are gluten intolerant or following a gluten-free diet. The bread has a soft and chewy texture with a slightly nutty flavor, making it a delicious alternative to traditional pita bread.

Prep Time

The preparation time for this recipe is around 30 minutes, including the time it takes for the dough to rest.

Cook Time

The cook time for each pita bread is approximately 2-3 minutes on each side.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of rice flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 cup of warm water

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Frying pan
  • Spatula

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
  5. Dust a work surface with some rice flour and roll each ball out into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
  6. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a pita bread to the pan.
  7. Cook the pita bread for 2-3 minutes on each side until it puffs up and is lightly browned.
  8. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough.
  9. Once cooked, remove the pita bread from the pan and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Serve the pita bread warm with your favorite dips, spreads, or fillings.

Notes

  • Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot, as this can affect the texture of the dough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more rice flour until it becomes easier to handle.
  • If you prefer a thinner pita bread, roll the dough out even thinner than 6 inches in diameter.
