Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten free all purpose flour blend
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt, dairy or plant based
- 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water as needed
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
- Whisk the gluten free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- Stir in the olive oil and yogurt until a rough dough forms.
- Add warm water a tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together but is soft.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently five to eight times.
- Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a round about 1 1/8 inches thick.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Cook each pita two to three minutes per side until golden brown spots form and the bread puffs slightly.
- Stack cooked pitas in a clean towel to keep them soft while you finish the rest.
- Serve warm or cool completely for storage.
Notes
Use a reliable gluten free all purpose blend, and keep the skillet hot to ensure proper cooking.
