Sourdough Pita Bread
1 cup sourdough starter (google to learn how to start yer own!)
1/2 cup water
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 1/2- 3 1/2 cups flour of your choice
I mix the starter with the water, and salt. Then add 2 cups of flour and mix and add as much more as needed to make a good dough for kneading. Then add the oil. Knead for a few minutes and place in a lightly oiled bowl. turn to coat and cover with a tea towel. Let rise in a warm place over night. Punch down and knead a bit and into pieces. Pieces should be slightly bigger than a golf ball. Heat heavy frying pan dry with a lid to medium heat. Roll out pieces just less than 1/4 inch thick and cook in covered pan till puffed up and flip. Cool for a few minutes then put in a covered plastic container whilst still warm to keep them soft. I then reheat by frying a bit in a tad of olive oil or toast as I need them.
We eat them with soup, as stuffed pita sandwiches, or spread with homemade hummus or yoghurt cheese.
