Same-Day Sourdough Pita

8.2 (1)
3h
8 servings

This same-day sourdough pita bread combines bread flour and whole wheat for a nutritious, tangy flatbread that puffs perfectly in the oven, ideal for wrapping gyros, falafel, or serving with dips.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 288 g bread flour
  • 72 g whole wheat flour
  • 200 g active sourdough starter (100% hydration)
  • 200 g lukewarm water
  • 10 g honey
  • 15 g olive oil
  • 9 g salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, whole wheat flour, active sourdough starter, lukewarm water, honey, and olive oil until no dry spots remain. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle in the salt and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
  3. Bulk ferment the dough at room temperature for about 2 hours, performing stretch and folds at 30 and 60 minutes, until it has increased in volume by 40-50%.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls, each about 95 grams. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into 6-7 inch rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Preheat a baking stone or steel in the oven at 500-550°F. Bake the pitas, one or two at a time, for 2-3 minutes until they puff up. Stack the baked pitas in a clean towel to keep them warm and soft.

Made variations of some of our favorite dishes from Miss Ada. Slapped so hard

Great pita and a good way to use the sourdough starter
