I haven&#8217;t yet found pita bread nirvana here in Colorado. Even at\u00a0one of Denver&#8217;s largest Middle Eastern grocery stores, the pitas are chewy and a bit\u00a0cardboardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, DIY pita breads are easy to make and INCREDIBLY delicious. They taste amazing straight from the oven, or served with creamy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/make-your-own-creamy-delicious-hummus\/\">homemade hummus<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the King Arthur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/golden-pita-bread-recipe\">Golden Pita Bread Recipe<\/a> as a guideline (and based on research that recommended a mix of no more than 33% whole wheat flour for reliable rising), I substituted 1\/2 cup of whole wheat flour and 1\/2 cup of spelt flour for one cup of the all-purpose flour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t have any King Arthur&#8217;s Dough Improver so I added a pinch of baking powder. Once the dough was ready to bake, I divided it into 8 portions and flattened the first ball slightly with my fingers like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/make-your-own-tender-perfectly-puffed-pita-breads-for-pennies\/?tp_image_id=160\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanhomesteader.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/pita1.jpg\" alt=\"pita1\" class=\"wp-image-160\" title=\"pita1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I rolled the dough as evenly as possible into a round that was about 6 inches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/make-your-own-tender-perfectly-puffed-pita-breads-for-pennies\/?tp_image_id=161\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanhomesteader.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/pita2.jpg\" alt=\"pita2\" class=\"wp-image-161\" title=\"pita2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the comments on the King Arthur blog, I positioned a metal rack over a foil-lined baking sheet and preheated it in a 500-degree oven. Once it was hot, I slid the pita dough on the rack:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/make-your-own-tender-perfectly-puffed-pita-breads-for-pennies\/?tp_image_id=162\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanhomesteader.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/pita3.jpg\" alt=\"pita3\" class=\"wp-image-162\" title=\"pita3\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazingly, every pita bread puffed perfectly after 3 to 4 minutes in the oven!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/make-your-own-tender-perfectly-puffed-pita-breads-for-pennies\/?tp_image_id=163\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanhomesteader.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/pita4.jpg\" alt=\"pita4\" class=\"wp-image-163\" title=\"pita4\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, as I took&nbsp;the pitas from the oven I&nbsp;tucked them in a clean dishtowel to keep them soft:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/make-your-own-tender-perfectly-puffed-pita-breads-for-pennies\/?tp_image_id=164\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanhomesteader.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/pita5.jpg\" alt=\"pita5\" class=\"wp-image-164\" title=\"pita5\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We ate some of the pitas right away, by splitting them in half, stuffing them with roast beef and cheese, wrapping them in foil and cooking them in the oven for a minute or two until the cheese melted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we added sliced avocado and tomato and ate them warm from the oven. They were the kind of pitas you dream about &#8212; fresh, warm, soft and lightly browned &#8212; and oh, so delicious!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stored the remaining pitas in a zip-lock plastic bag, and the next day when we reheated them in the oven (wrapped in foil, sprinkled with a couple of drops of water)&nbsp;they were almost as good as the first. I do recommend eating them as soon as possible after you make them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Make Your Own Tender, Perfectly Puffed Pita Breads &#8211; for Pennies!\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/make-your-own-tender-perfectly-puffed-pita-breads-for-pennies\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Make Your Own Tender, Perfectly Puffed Pita Breads &#8211; for Pennies!\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[282,287,452,100,111,132,148],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Make Your Own Tender, Perfectly Puffed Pita Breads - for Pennies! - Happy Simple Living<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Make your own tender, perfectly puffed pita breads!
