Pide Bread
Ingredients:
225g bread flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried yeast
140ml warm water
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Method:
Knead everything together :: for 3-4 minutes
Let proof for 1 hour covered in a warm place
Knock back and shape - either 6 round balls for pittas or 2 larger balls for pide
Sprinkle with flour and leave for 5 minutes covered
Roll out into 6 pittas or 2 long turkish pides
Bake at 230 C for 4-6 minutes until puffed up
Take them out before they are brown and wrap in a tea towel to keep them soft
Hints/Tips:
I often make these to accompany barbecued lamb patties (see the recipe HERE) (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1079.msg6795#msg6795) I got from a Weber book - anyone interested in that recipe? The pides are nice toasted the next day

Thermomixer, you're so organised! Thank you
-
I made these on the weekend and was very pleased with the result.
It is a lovely dough - very smooth - and the bread was satisfyingly airy inside.
I suggest sprinkling them with sesame or nigella seeds before baking and next time I will bake them on a preheated pizza stone, too.
-
Thanks Amanda - like the idea of seeds on top.
-
Nigella seeds would give them a 'turkish' flavour, yum!

I made these pitta's for dinner tonight.

The mixture made 4 smaller pittas, and 1 large one.
Next time I think I may double the mix.
They puffed up lovely, and then left them to cool between two tea towels as directed.
I was happy with the results.
Very satisfying to make your own, instead of purchasing them.
Tonight I lightly toasted them in a dry pan, then topped them with lettuce, slow cooked mexican beef, tomato salsa and sour cream.
