Perfect Homemade Pita Bread — Soft, Fluffy & Golden Every Time!

🫓 Perfect Homemade Pita Bread — Soft, Fluffy & Golden Every Time! Soft, pillowy, and golden — this homemade pita bread is everything store-bought can never be. Once you make it from scratch, there's simply no going back. In this video, I'm sharing my foolproof pita bread recipe that pairs beautifully with gyros, dips, and so much more. ✨ What you'll get: – A perfectly soft & fluffy pita every time – Golden pan-toasted finish – Simple ingredients, incredible results – The ideal base for gyros, hummus & mezze platters 🧺Ingredients • 5 g (1 tsp) instant dry yeast • 140 ml warm water • 100 ml warm milk • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing the pan) • 390 g bread flour (plus extra for rolling) • 1 tbs sugar • 1 tsp salt 💛 Instructions • Place the yeast in a bowl and add the warm water and sugar. Stir together and leave for 5 minutes, until foam appears on top of the water. • In a stand mixer bowl add all ingredients (warm milk, flour, olive oil, salt) and the yeast mixture. Knead the dough for 10 minutes with a dough hook. The mixture will be quite sticky, so if you’re kneading by hand, it’s a good idea to coat your hands and work surface in a little olive oil to stop it sticking. • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or clingfilm and allow to prove for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size. • Lightly flour the work surface and divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape into balls and place on a tray or board with a damp cloth over the top to rest for a few minutes, while you prepare to start cooking them. • Take one of the dough balls, and roll it into a flatbread shape, about 18 cm in diameter and ½ cm thick. • Brush or spray a medium-sized frying pan with a little oil (just 1/4 tsp or so) and place over a medium-high heat to heat up. Remove excess flour, then place the pita in the pan. • Cook for about 60-90 seconds, until bubbles start to appear. Then turn over and cook for another minute. • Stack the flatbreads on a plate (stacking them helps to keep them soft), laying a tea towel over them to keep warm until you’re ready to serve. 📌 Make this alongside my Chicken Gyros!    • PERFECT CHICKEN GYROS - Better Than Takeout   📌 Save this recipe for your next Greek night! 🔔 Subscribe for weekly delicious recipes crafted with love and a gilded touch. ─────────────────────── ✨ Savoring Life, One Golden Bite at a Time ✨ #MyGildedSpoon #PitaBread #HomemadePita #GreekFood #MediterraneanFood #BreadRecipe #HomemadeBread #Fluffy Pita #GreekRecipes #GourmetFood #FoodPhotography #EasyBread #PitaRecipe #LuxuryFood
