If you have recently started on a yeast free diet, you are probably wondering what foods you can eat and which foods you can't. Since a lot of bread contains yeast to make it rise, you may be wondering about pita bread. It doesn't rise up like normal bread, so does it still contain yeast?
Well, the answer is, yes, normal pita bread does in fact contain yeast. However, you need not despair, as there are alternative pita breads that you can buy that are free from it, or you can indeed make your own. Here is a great recipe for you to try.
What You Will Need:
* 1 tbsp Olive Oil
* 1 cup soy flour
* 1 cup unbleached white flour
* 1 1/2 cups distilled or purified water
* Half a teaspoon of baking powder
* Dash of sea salt
Note: if you are using gluten-free flours, you will need to add egg to the mix in order for it to bind together well.
How to Make the Pita Bread
1. Mix the water, olive oil and the salt. Add the flour and the baking powder, and mix into a smooth consistency similar to a pancake mix.
2. Rub the inside of the frying pan with an oily paper towel, then let the pan sit for about ten minutes.
3. Place the frying pan on a hob at medium-low heat, and wait about 3 minutes before pouring the batter into the middle of the pan.
4. Tilt the frying pan in a circular motion until the whole of the bottom of the pan is covered with the desired thickness of batter.
5. Once the top of the mixture has gone dry, flip it over and cook the other side. This should take about a minute on each side.
6. Eat.
