List of ingredients

• 1.5 cups of flour.
• A pinch of salt.
• Three tables. Spoons of vegetable oil.
• 250 ml of boiled water.

Cooking process

First, take a large capacity, where with the help of a sieve we sift the flour. As you know, the better sifted it will be, the more magnificent it will be in the end baking. Add a pinch of salt and mix it thoroughly with flour. After that, pour in the vegetable oil and stir again. The last step is the gradual addition of warm boiled water.

Experienced housewives advise to knead the dough exclusively with the help of hands. No kitchen appliances. Dough for pita bread does not tolerate metal, it needs the warmth of human hands. And you will understand exactly when the preparation is ready for further culinary procedures. The dough should be of medium consistency. Slightly denser than ordinary pies, but also a bit softer and more pliable than a pelmeno.

Make a lump from the dough (ball) and wrap it with plastic wrap or just put it in a bag. We send the dough a little "to rest" in the refrigerator. In thirty minutes it will be ready to work. Chilled dough is easier to roll out and more pliable.

The resulting lump should be divided into four or six parts. Each of them is rolled into a thin layer. Its thickness should be about two to three millimeters. Next, you need an empty three-liter jar. We turn it upside down and hang the rolled sheet of dough on the bottom. This is necessary in order for the tips of the layer to stretch slightly under their own weight.

While the dough will hang, you can start rolling out other lumps. When all of them are ready, we begin to fry. For this it is necessary to take a voluminous skillet. It must be clean and dry. We will fry without adding oil. Each side of the pita bread is fried for about one minute.

How to understand that pita bread should be turned over? Pay attention to the bubbles that will appear during the frying process. The more they are on the surface of the dough, the better the side will be roasted. And that the pita bread was soft and well afterwards wrapped in a roll, after frying it should be put on a damp towel. When the second lavash is ready, we also sandwich it with a towel. It turns out a kind of puff cake: lavash - damp cloth, lavash - cloth.
