Cómo preparar Peppy's Pita Bread
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll and stretch into a 12-inch rope.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6-7 inch circle. Handle gently to avoid tears.
- Place the pitas on a lightly floured baking sheet or countertop, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place a baking stone or wire rack in the oven if possible.
- Carefully transfer 2-3 pitas to a wire rack (placed directly on the oven rack).
- Bake for 4-5 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and immediately place pitas in a sealed brown paper bag or cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep them soft.
- Once cooled slightly, cut each pita in half or split the top edge to create pockets. Serve immediately or store as directed.
- Store leftover pitas in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
