Super Easy Sourdough Pita Bread
Description
Ingredients
- 500 g bread flour
- 80 g whole wheat flour
- 348 g water (for 60% hydration)
- 230 g sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 60 g neutral oil
- 19 g sugar
- 15 g sea salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer and knead with a dough hook on medium speed for 4 minutes. Cover and rest for 10 minutes, then knead again for another 4 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 4–6 hours at room temperature (or overnight in the fridge). For cold weather, briefly warm the oven to 150°C, turn it off, and place the bowl inside.
Divide the risen dough into 12 pieces, roll into balls, and let rest for 10–15 minutes. Roll each ball into a ¼-inch thick circle on a floured surface to resemble a sourdough pita bread.
Let the sourdough pita bread rest for 30–45 minutes (optional) while preheating the oven to 250°C (500°F) with a baking stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
Bake the sourdough pita bread for 5–7 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
