Whole Wheat Pita Bread Recipe / Lebanese Pita Bread Recipe / How to Make Pita Bread on Tawa

I love love love pita bread..They are so easy to make, but can be had with pretty much anything. I already have a pita bread recipe made in oven, this one is my second version made in tawa, i love this version more than that. Because it can be made in minutes. So you dont have to wait for so many minutes near hot oven. The cool thing about this pita bread is it has puffs up when it is in oven or tawa and when it cools it gets a nice pocket in which you can stuff meat or anything in them. The famous pita stuffing is this falafil..


I made this pita bread using wheat flour and it turned out so good. Plus it is so healthy. You can make a huge batch of this and freeze them by placing wax paper or parchment paper inbetween them and you can warm it up in oven or microwave when you need them. 

I stuffed this pita bread with this spinach egg scramble and it is delicious. You can stuff it with some sliced up veggies and drizzle some tahini sauce or hummus over them. It taste divine. Or you can spread it with some garlic mayo and stuff it with grilled chicken slices, YUM YUM..
So give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you..
Preparation Time : 10 mins
Resting Time : 1 Hour or 2 Hours
Cooking Time : 1 min for cooking each pita
Serves : 5 to 6 pita

Ingredients:

Whole Wheat Flour / Atta – 1.5 cup
Yeast – 3/4 tsp
Sugar – 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Warm Water – Little less than 3/4 cup
Oil – 1 tsp


Method:

Take yeast, sugar and few tblspn of warm water in a bowl and mix well. Leave it to activate for 5 mins.

Take wheat flour, salt and oil in a bowl and mix well.

Add in warm water and the yeast water and knead it to a soft dough.

Cover it with a cloth and place it in a warm place. let it rise for 1 hour or 2 hours till it is double in size. 

Now knock the air out, and knead it once. Cut it into a equal portions and shape them into rounds.

Take one round, dust it with more flour. Roll it into little thick  rounds.

Place it in hot tawa, cook for few sec till small bubbles forms on top, flip over and cook for few sec. Now flip the pita top side over hot tawa till it puffs up.

Now remove it to a plate. Cut it in half, and stuff it with any filling. 

Serve.

    Can the dough be kept in the fridge overnight and be used the next day?

    Hi Aarthi..

    I came across ur site yesterday when searching for Pressure cooker baked cakes for my sister as she does not have an oven & I had to literally smack my head for not finding this treasure earlier 🙂

    I love cooking and thankfully do a good job (or so I think as my 4yr old doesn't complain 😉 ) I'm on the constant look out for new recipes or variations… You do an EXCELLENT JOB!!!!! If anybody asked me to explain cooking I wud just stare…but you are sooooo awesome with all the detailed pics… it is no mean task to spend so much of time and energy to help everyone and above all share such yummy recipes…

    Hats off to you 🙂

    I've only one question on this Pita bread… u have mentuioned that you can make in bulk and freeze.. how long can this be frozen???

    Thanks,
    Anitha
