A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.

Ingredients
Method
- Combine Greek yogurt, gluten free flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl (using a larger bowl than you think you need helps contain the mess!).
- Mix everything together using your hands. It will be very piece-y and crumbly to start. Don't panic!
- Spend time, still using your hands, pressing the mixture into larger clumps and eventually, one large dough ball. This could take up to 10 minutes, but if it takes longer and is still falling apart, add 1 tbsp of water and continue to work the dough together.
- Knead the dough inside the large bowl for 2-3 minutes, then form it into a large dough ball. Note that you will not need additional flour here.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
- You can use a tortilla press or a rolling pin, but either way, place each dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper and flatten no more than a ¼ cm thick. Note that you don't have to be too specific with the thickness and can play around with this! If you flatten it more, it will be a thin bread and if you leave it thicker it could puff up a little! Totally up to you.
- In a pan to the stove over medium heat, add enough oil to slightly cover the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is warm, add one pita at a time and cook each side for about 3 minutes or until golden marks form on each side.
- If you'd like, melt some butter and mix with fresh chopped parsley then brush onto each pita.
Halfed the recipe for just myself and these are amazing! Definitely trust the process when the dough is coming together! 10/10
Thrilled to hear! Thanks, Rachel! 🙂
So I only had 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt (actually it was vanilla Greek) and for the remaining I just added water. It was my first time trying this recipe and first time ever making pita bread and it came out great!
I’m glad I read that comment about trusting the process with the dough. That was very helpful.
One thing I hate is a messy kitchen and I love that I didn’t have to sprinkle any extra flour around.
I lightly used spray olive oil on my large cast iron stove top skillet and rolled out with a pin 14 very thin and small pita breads.
I’m not a fan of spending so much time in the kitchen and this recipe was pretty fast. Recipe and instructions were so simple and easy to follow!
(I used King Arthur 1:1 gluten free flour)
Wow I’m so surprised that vanilla yogurt tasted good here, haha! But I’m glad to hear and I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe while finding the instructions easy to follow 🙂 Thanks, Kitty!
This recipe is fantastic! Got rave reviews from the family so this is now our go-to for pita bread.
Ah that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much for making and sharing with your family. 🙂
Wonderful and easy bread! I will be making this weekly ❤️. Goes well with ta’ameya and all of the toppings!
Soo happy to hear! 🙂
