Today happens to be pita baking day. We're going to utilize the sourdough starter we put together yesterday to bake the loaves.

My starter looks like this:

Measure 200g bread flour:

Then 100g spelt flour:

And another 100g of sprouted whole wheat flour:

Followed by 180g water:

And a dash of active-dry yeast:

With 8g of sea salt:

Mix all the flours, water, and starter together:

Until a dough forms:

Cover the container, and let it rise somewhere warm:

Preheat the oven with a baking steel while the dough rises for four hours:

Flip it onto a lightly floured work surface:

Fold it in half:

Shape it like a log:

Cut it in half first:

Then cut each have into four equal pieces:

And make a ball of each piece:

Repeat for the second half of the log:

Grab the first dough ball and flour it:

Flatten it into a disc:

Using a rolling pin, make it thin and as even as possible:

Move it onto a baking peel:

Slide it on the hot baking steel:

And remove it when it puffs up a couple of minutes later:

Repeat for the second dough ball:

Flatten by hand first:

Then with a rolling pin:

On peel then bake:

Third ball:

Flatten:

Roll and bake:

Fifth ball:

Flatten:

Roll and bake:

Sixth ball:

Flatten:

Roll and bake:

Seventh ball:

Flatten:

Roll and bake:

Eighth ball:

Flatten:

Roll and bake:

After the loaves are baked, place them on a cooling rack:

Enjoy them warm with some olive oil.

No knead: Make the yeast do the work for you.​

​

Crumbs: While baking, cover the dough to obtain a crust.
