A quick and easy gluten free pita bread recipe that’s soft and perfect for fillings.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

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

  1. Whisk the gluten free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
  2. Stir in the olive oil and yogurt until a rough dough forms.
  3. Add warm water a tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together but is soft.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently five to eight times.
  5. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
  6. Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a round about 1 1/8 inches thick.
  7. Heat a dry skillet over medium high heat until hot but not smoking.
  8. Cook each pita two to three minutes per side until golden brown spots form and the bread puffs slightly.
  9. Stack cooked pitas in a clean towel to keep them soft while you finish the rest.
  10. 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.
