Soft, chewy gluten-free pita bread made with a balanced blend of oat, sorghum, and tapioca flours plus psyllium husk for structure—perfect for wraps, dipping, and Mediterranean meals.

  • Total Time: PT42M
  • Yield: 68 pitas 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ¾ cup sorghum flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for skillet)
  • Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix ¾–1 cup warm water with psyllium husk; let gel for 5–10 min.
  2. In a bowl, whisk oat flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add psyllium gel and olive oil; stir into a dough, adding water if needed.
  4. Cover and rest for 15–20 min to hydrate.
  5. Divide into 6–8 balls; roll each into ~¼″ thick disks.
  6. Heat oiled cast‑iron skillet over medium-high. Cook each pita 2–3 min per side until puffed and lightly browned.
  7. Keep cooked pitas in a towel-lined bowl to steam and stay soft.

Notes

Use a balanced flour blend and psyllium husk to mimic gluten structure. Resting the dough is key to hydrate flours. Store in an airtight bag at room temperature up to 3 days, refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
