Pita BreadFrom: The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread (reviewed 12th August 2010)The Pita Bread recipe is a variation of the Lavash Crackers. Maybe because it is not the main recipe, the directions are not specific enough. It took me two times to get this right. First of all- if you follow the recipe exactly, it will only make two pitas- both 8 inches in diameter. That seemed really big to me (and a lot of work for two pieces of bread) so I made 4 smaller ones. I wasn't sure how thinly to roll them out. The first time they must have been too thin since they didn't puff completely. The second time I made them one puffed really well and that was the one that was a little thicker than the others- so now I know. These require a lot of kneading time to pass the 'windowpane test'. I had to knead for over 15 minutes. |
