Gluten Free Pita Bread

Ingredients:
  • 12g Psyllium husk powder
  • 300g Boiling water
  • 210g JEB FOODS Cassava Flour
  • 12g fine sugar
  • 6g Instant yeast
  • 5g salt
  • 16g Olive oil
Method:
  1. Begin by combining all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  2. Introduce the olive oil and blend it thoroughly with the dry mixture.
  3. Gradually pour in the boiling water, stirring continuously (ensure the water is extremely hot, as this is crucial for the desired outcome).
  4. Thoroughly knead the mixture to form a dough.
  5. Dust a clean surface lightly with flour, and divide the dough into six equal pieces.
  6. Form each piece into a round shape and rest them under a clean kitchen towel to keep them moist.
  7. Flatten each dough ball into a circular shape using a rolling pin or dough press.
  8. Drape them again with the kitchen towel, letting them rise for at least 15 minutes at room temperature (this proofing step is essential).
  9. Preheat a skillet or large frying pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles upon contact.
    • Note: Adjust the heat as necessary while cooking the pita breads to ensure they puff up and brown evenly.
  10. Cook each pita bread on a hot surface. It should begin to puff after about 20 seconds. Flip it a few times during cooking.
  11. Continue cooking each side for approximately 45-60 seconds, until they attain a rich golden-brown color, possibly with some charred spots.
  12. Once done, place the cooked pita bread on a plate or tray lined with paper towels or a clean towel to soak up any moisture.
