Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, oat flour, tapioca flour, ground flaxseed, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
- On a surface dusted with gluten-free flour, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or baking sheet in the oven.
- Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto the preheated baking stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes until the pita bread puffs up and starts to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
- Serve the gluten-free pita bread warm and enjoy with your favorite fillings!
