- Knead 4 min/closed bowl/dough mode.
- Let the dough rise in a covered bowl until doubled in volume, about 60 min.
- Divide the dough into eight balls and let them rest 15 min.
- Roll out each ball into a thin disc with a rolling pin.
- Preheat the oven with the tray inside at maximum 250°C.
- Place the discs on the very hot tray.
- Bake 5 min until they puff up forming the pocket.
- Wrap in a cloth when taking them out so they stay soft.
Tips
- The blast of heat is what makes the pita puff up.
- Do not let them brown too much so they keep their flexibility.
