Does anyone know of a recipe for pita bread that DOES NOT use yeast nor eggs?

The closest that I can think of that will suit your need is one of the Indian unleavened breads like roti, since pita bread is a leavened bread. Here's a recipe from Bread.net that should provide something similar to what you want:





Roti Bread





This is a very basic recipe for the famous Indian bread, 'ROTI'.





You can mix flavorings (savoury) in the flour and suit your taste.





Notice there is no sugar, yeast or butter. It is very healthy and can be used for a roll-up meal.





* All purpose or wholemeal flour


500 gm (a little more than one u.s. pound)


* salt


a pinch


* Water


2 cups or so





1. Mix flour and salt nicely.


2. Add water, little by little and form in to a semi soft dough.


3. Keep aside for 15 minutes for leavening, cover the dough with a moist cloth.


4. Knead a little more(2 minutes)


5. Make egg-sized balls.


6. Flatten and roll on dry flour with a rolling pin; it should be 4-5 mm thick and round in shape.


7. Cook in a pan or griddle until a little brown on both sides.(Keep turning)





Enjoy hot with curries or gravies, make roll-ups with meat, cheese and other sandwich fillings.Does anyone know of a recipe for pita bread that DOES NOT use yeast nor eggs?
Two easy recipes:


Ham and cheese (Mozzarela or gouda), then wait until the chesse melts (either microwave or a heated pan preferebly).





Also you can slice fine beef, or corned beef and you can add fresh tomato sauce or chesse as well. Probably you will need to cook first the beef and once cooked then you ot it inside a pita bread and add cheese and warm it up until the cheese melts.Does anyone know of a recipe for pita bread that DOES NOT use yeast nor eggs?
I found this recipe. Hope it's what you're needing:





Pita Bread


Recipe by: Carolin





2 cups whole wheat flour


3/4 cup water


3/4 tsp salt





Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Mix ingredients together, then knead for a few minutes. Dough should be soft, but not sticky. Add flour or water as needed. Set dough aside to rest for 15 minutes or so.





Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then, on a floured countertop, roll each piece into a very thin circle with a floured rolling pin. The thinner the better, but there should not be holes in it. Roll out 2 balls, then place them into the oven, directly on the rack. Do this as quickly as possible so the oven doesn't lose heat. Bake for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes check the bread...it should be puffed up and dry looking. If it is not done, leave for 1 more minute. If it has turned brown and is crunchy, it is overcooked. You can still eat it and it is tasty, but cook the remaining breads for a shorter amount of time.





Remove the cooked breads and let oven come back up to 500 degrees (roll out 2 more circles while you are waiting). Repeat with remainder of dough.
