If you have recently decided to give up eating yeast, there are probably questions in your mind regarding what foods you can or cannot eat on a yeast-free diet. One of those you may be wondering about it pita bread. Since it’s not as well-risen as normal bread, does it still contain yeast?
Well, the answer is, yes, normal pita bread does in fact contain yeast. However, you need not despair, as there are alternative pita breads that you can buy that are free from it, or you can indeed make your own. Here is a great recipe for you to try.
Ingredients:
* 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
* 1 cup soy flour
* 1 cup unbleached white flour
* 1 and a half cups distilled or purified water
* Half a teaspoon baking powder
* A dash of sea salt
Note: If you are using a gluten free flour in your mixture, make sure you also add an egg as well, as this will replace the gluten that binds together the mixture.
How to Make the Pita Bread
1. Mix together the olive oil, water and the salt. Add in the flour and baking powder, then mix until smooth like a pancake mixture.
2. Rub inside of frying pan with a paper towel dipped in olive oil. Let frying pan sit for 10 minutes.
3. Put the frying pan on a hob at a medium-to-low heat, and wait for about three minutes before tipping the batter into the centre of the pan.
4. Tilt the pan in a circular motion until a good thickness of the batter mixture covers the bottom.
5. When the upper side looks dry, flip it over with your spatula and cook on the opposite side. This should take about 1 minute on each side.
6. Eat it.
