Title: OK, new idea Low Carb Pita Bread
Post by: TMB on January 09, 2019, 08:51:31 AM
I'm on a pizza forum and the idea of someone looking for a Pita bread recipe got me to thinking  :D :D

Wonder if I can pull off a low carb pita bread using my UUNI?   Mix will be Alomnd flour, white wheat  (higher fiber than reg flour) with some starter and VWG ;)

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome

My Greek grandmother used an electric griddle to make pita bread or homemade souvlaki, and it was better than anything store-bought by a mile.  I'd think a cast iron skillet would work well in the Uuni for this project.

Great idea!   I'll have a few made and try different ways to see what works

Thanks :thumbup:

I remember, issue with that way of cooking low carb bread is getting it to hold to gether side ways.  Using my UUNI with or without a pan would let it lay flat till it puffed

even if it was that hot? I was thinking it would sear it against the wall...☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Almond flour base just does not have the body of reg flour so not sure it would stay.  Only way to know is try and I'm up to trying  :D :D

No on cauliflower  ??? Can’t stand the stuff.    It was a mix of almond flour starter and vital wheat gluten.  On jury duty now I’ll post this recipe when I can get to a keyboard

The recipe is..

1/2 cup Almond flour
1/8 Tbs VWG
1/8  Tbs Starter
1/8 tsp yeast (dry)
2 oz HOT water
1 tsp oil (i used coconut oil)
3 Tbs flour (used 2 in the mix and one to powder to dough balls when flatting out)

After mixing dry ingredents add the hot water mix well and let sit min of 10 mins before working. This gives the almond time to hydrate

Kneed dough for a few mins and try to get air into the mix then let rise for 2 hrs, after 2 hr rise cut into 3 dough balls and let rise again for 10 mins or so. 

Flaten into round pita shape about 1/4 in thick and cook using a VERY hot iron skilet with just a little bit of oil,  keep flipping so it wont burn.   Your done when both sides are brown and there is a little rise to the bread.  let cool and enjoy
