Wholemeal Pita Bread

Lunch on Saturday normally simple aje. Nak western sikit sebab weekdays hari2 makan nasi, quite boring isn't it.Nak kata western tak juga, mediterranean pun ok je lah!

Tengah blog walking, suddenly it gives me the idea of making my own pita bread. Senang saja bahannya, semua dah tersedia dalam fridge ku yang tak seberapa tu.

Ok, here is the recipe for pita bread.

Pita Bread
Yields 8-10 pitas

1 1/4 cups (300 ml) warm water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (190 grams) bread (or all-purpose) flour
1 1/2 cups (180 grams) whole wheat flour

In a large mixing bowl (or bowl of a stand mixer), sprinkle the yeast over the barely warm water and allow to sit about 5-10 minutes until activated (looks frothy). Mix in the olive oil, and salt. Gradually add bread flour and whole wheat flour, mixing until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry and will not come together, add small amounts of water until it does. Conversely, if the dough is too sticky, add flour until it becomes workable; however, do not add too much flour or the bread will become dense.
Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 7-10 minutes, or until elastic. Alternatively, using the dough hook on a stand mixer, knead the dough on the slowest setting for 7-10 minutes, or until elastic. Cover dough with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Punch down the dough before turning out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough evenly into 8 to 10 pieces (depending on how large you would like the pitas) and roll into balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out the balls until they are 1/4 to 1/8-inch thick. If the dough resists rolling out, allow it to rest for 10 minutes and it will roll out easier. Cover the rounds with a kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes or until puffy.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven and allow it to heat as well.
Toss as many pitas into the oven as you can fit onto the hot baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes. Once they are finished baking, wrap each pita in a damp paper towel or cloth to soften them. Press down on the pitas lightly to flatten.
Serve warm or store until later use.

And for the filling, I masak je chicken slice tu with green and red capsicum, stir fried it, put some onion, a dash of Worcestershire sauce and a dash of fish sauce,Japanese mayonnaise( kewpie), salt and pepper to taste! Siapppppp!
