Homemade pita bread without yeast

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make homemade pita bread without yeast? Take a large deep bowl, sift the entire volume of wheat flour into it. Next, pour salt into the same container. Mix the dry ingredients. This is done so that the salt is evenly distributed throughout the flour. Then pour vegetable oil into the flour. Boil a kettle with water. Add 200 ml of hot water to the flour, salt and oil in the container.

2. Step 2:

   

   Knead the dough. First, knead it with a spoon (because the water is hot and you can burn your hands). When the water is already absorbed into the flour, then continue to knead the dough with your hands. After kneading the dough in a bowl, transfer it to the work surface and continue kneading for some more time (literally 2-3 minutes). Put the already elastic dough in a plastic bag for 20-30 minutes so that it rests and becomes more pliable when rolling out.

3. Step 3:

   

   Brush your hands, rolling pin and knife (or spatula) with vegetable oil. After half an hour, remove the dough from the bag, knead it a little again (1-2 minutes). Roll a flagellum out of the dough, divide it with a knife or a spatula into 8 parts (for a frying pan with a diameter of 26-28 cm). If the pan is smaller in diameter, then divide the dough into more pieces. Cover the pieces with cling film or put them back in the bag so that the dough does not chafe.

5. Step 4:

   

   Take a piece and roll it out thinly with a rolling pin. When rolling out flour, it is not necessary to add. You can already spread the thinly rolled dough on a preheated frying pan. If you want to get beautiful, smooth pita bread, then put a plate on the dough, gently draw along its contour with a knife. So get a round, smooth pita bread. But this is not a prerequisite at all, it does not affect the taste of lavash in any way. Fry the prepared pita bread in a dry frying pan on both sides.

6. Step 5:

   

   Freshly fried pita bread over medium heat, be sure to lubricate it with water on both sides so that it becomes soft. Then cover it with a film and put a towel on top. This is done so that the cake gives off its heat and becomes softer. Repeat all the steps, frying all the pita bread in this way. It is impossible to store pita bread in an open form, they will dry up quickly, so put them in a plastic bag. Serve ready-made pita bread to the table both warm and cold.
