    Sun-Dried Tomato Pita Bread to complement your favorite gyro fillings perfectly. Easy to make with only 7 ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your pantry. | www.heavenlyhomecooking.comOkay, I'll admit it.  I love bread.  It's one of my primary food weaknesses.  That and sweets.  I love this sun-dried tomato pita bread recipe in particular because it comes together so quickly in terms of baking (just 2-3 minutes per side) and uses ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry.  If you don't have the sun-dried tomatoes, that's okay.  It would still be good without them.  I wanted to dress it up a bit and add a little more color and flavor.

    To be honest, I made this bread on a whim.  I had recently made some whipped feta to put on burgers and that put me in a Greek frame of mind.  And seeing that I love bread, making pita just seemed like the right thing to do.

    Of course it's great for making gyros too.  I will share my favorite gyro recipe with you next.  Stay tuned!

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 envelope active dry yeast
    • 2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 4 cups white all-purpose flour
    • 1-½ cups water warmed to 105 to 110 degrees F
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil

    Instructions
     

    • Combine the yeast and sugar in a small bowl, add ½ cup of the warm water and let stand for 10 minutes to proof. Yeast is active and ready when it bubbles and forms a film of foam on the top. Dissolve the salt in the remaining warm water.
    • Put the flour in a large mixing bowl, making a well in the middle and put the dissolved yeast and salt water into it.
      With your hands blend it into a dough. You may need a bit more or less water depending on your flour. When the dough begins to pull away from the side of the bowl it's ready for kneading.
      Lightly flour a large cutting board or your clean counter top (I like to knead on a piece of marble tile), pour the dough out on to the floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth.
      Pour the oil and sun-dried tomatoes over the dough and knead until the oil is absorbed and tomatoes are evenly distributed.
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel and set in a draft free area to rise until double in bulk (about 1.5 to 2 hours)
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
      Cut pieces of dough, egg size or larger, depending on the size of the pita desired. Shape them into balls with your hands and roll them out over a lightly floured board to ¼ inch thickness.
      Set 2-3 pitas on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake them on the lower rack of the oven 2 to 3 minutes per side.
      Serve warm or at room temperature. You can freeze any leftovers.

        Hi Lil, I'm sorry I can't answer your question because I don't own a mixer with a dough hook.

      So impressed you’re making your own pita, and love the extra flair of the sun-dried tomatoes. Are there any other ingredients you have tried adding to your pita dough?

        Thanks, Felicia! So far I've only tried sun-dried tomatoes, but I think they'd be good with olives, herbs or cheese as well. 🙂
