If you want your pita bread to be even softer and fluffier, you can try steaming it.
Cut a piece of foil approximately the size of the pan and coat it with olive oil.
Pour approximately 2–3 tablespoons of water into a pan and heat it over medium heat until steam begins to form.
Place the shaped pita bread on the foil, immediately cover the pan with a lid and let it steam for 12–15 minutes .
Then turn the pita and bake for about 2–3 more minutes .
If you want a more pronounced golden color, you can gently press the pita bread against the pan with a wooden spoon while turning.
What to serve pita bread with?
Greek pita bread goes well with almost anything. You can serve it with grilled meat, vegetables, salads, tzatziki, hummus, or various sauces.
It’s also great as a base for homemade gyros or simply warm, brushed with a little olive oil . And once you taste it fresh straight from the pan, you may find yourself wanting to make it more often than store-bought bread.
