Description

Soft and puffed gluten free pita bread recipe that’s ready in under 30 minutes. Yeast-free, tender, and perfect for wraps, dips, and sandwiches.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups gluten-free flour (with xanthan gum)

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp psyllium husk powder

1 cup warm water

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp apple cider vinegar


Instructions

1. Whisk all dry ingredients in a bowl.

2. Add wet ingredients and stir to form dough.

3. Let rest 10 minutes to absorb moisture.

4. Divide into 6 balls, roll into 6-inch rounds.

5. Heat a dry skillet on medium-high.

6. Cook each pita 2–3 minutes per side, flipping until puffed.

7. Keep warm in a towel. Serve fresh.

Notes

You can add garlic powder or za’atar to the dough for extra flavor.

If pitas don’t puff, they still work great as wraps or flatbreads.
