Soft homemade pita bread
Warm, soft pita bread that puffs up in the oven. The Thermomix® kneads the dough for you, so it is easier than you think.
There is nothing like warm pita bread straight from the oven. With the Thermomix®, the dough is ready in a few minutes and you do not need to knead by hand. Serve it with hummus, grilled meat or a fresh salad.
The dough uses only a few basic ingredients you probably already have at home.

Esra's tip
For a good puff, the oven and the tray must be very hot. Put the tray in the oven while it heats. Wrap the baked pitas in a clean cloth so they stay soft. You can freeze them and warm them in a pan or toaster.
