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

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