Here is the great healthy alternative to your bread. Just two ingredients, not so much work, and you have delicious pita or flat bread, call it whatever way you like. Pictures and videos below will help you to master your pita making skills.
For about 8 pitas:
- 2 cups mashed sweet potato
- 2 cups oat flour (or whole wheat flour) plus some more flour for shaping
1) Peel, chop in large pieces and cook in boiling water one large sweet potato. Drain and mash. Measure 2 cups of puree and place it in a large bowl.
2). Add flour. Mix thoroughly, you'll get soft slightly sticky dough.
3). Use more flour to roll out dough into 8-9" diameter circles, about 1/4" thick.
4). Cook on a both sides, on a dry skillet, no oil.
Notes:
- usually I use oats, blended into a flour in my Vitamix blender. This time I used store-bought whole wheat flour.
- you don't have to stick to exact 2-cup amount for the ingredients. As a rule of thumb, use the same volume amount of flour as you get mashed potato. For example, this time I've got 3.5 cup of mashed sweet potato so, I used 3.5 cup of flour to make a dough.
- pita will keep for about 3 days, covered, without refridgeration, and, of course, much longer in a fridge
