Low Sodium Pita Bread

Step 1

Whisk dry ingredients in a mixing bowl to loosen flour and incorporate.

Step 2

Put all ingredients in the bread machine in order; water, oil, dry ingredients, ½ Tbsp butter in each corner and yeast in a small divot in the center.

Step 3

Set it on the dough setting.

Step 4

When the dough is done, cut it into 8 pieces. Form each piece into a ball. Cover the dough for 15-20 minutes, then roll out the pitas.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6 - 7 inch round, flat circle. Cover and let rise on a lightly floured surface for about 30 - 40 minutes or until they are a little puffy.

Step 6

Set a griddle or heavy baking in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 F.

Step 7

Bake as many as will fit on the griddle (usually 3), bake the pitas for 3 - 4 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Step 8

After removing from the oven, immediately place the pitas on a plate and cover with a dish towel to soften.

Step 9

Once cooled and softened, store in a plastic bag or eat.

Step 10

Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with either – Mrs. Dash Table Blend, Za’atar spice or Italian herb seasoning. (Or your choice of spice. all no sodium of course)

Step 11

Cut each pita into 8 triangles. (Like a pizza, I like to use a pizza cutter)

Step 12

Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Watch carefully, as they can burn quickly!
