This whole wheat pita bread also called Arab bread is ideal for sandwiches of all kinds. If you have a meeting with friends, a barbecue, a simple family meal or something delicious for snack or breakfast always comes in handy.

A crumbless bread that you can eat as is or toast it. Can be combined with countless fillings, it really is an exquisite bread, one of my favorites because it is super light, rich, and simple to make.

Let’s talk a bit about the recipe:

Regardless preparing this bread is simple, there are some tips or recommendations regarding its preparation. The ingredients are frequently used and just a few, easy to find in any market. In addition, you will always have the alternative of replacing any of them according to preference or need.

About the ingredients:

At Integralisimo, the whole wheat flour used is 100% organic whole wheat, finely ground (unless it is mentioned). In general, depending on the brand, it can absorb more or less liquid. For this reason I recommend incorporating the liquids gradually. As a result, keep in mind that less volume will result in a smaller final product.

The fat used in this opportunity is sunflower oil. However, it can be replaced with butter, margarine, olive oil, coconut oil, etc. Nevertheless, depending on the type of fat used, it might change the texture and final flavor. Therefore, always keep in mind the type and class of ingredients when preparing a specific recipe.

About cooking:

Finally, the whole wheat arabic bread is cooked in a strong oven, at a temperature above 230 °C – 446 °F. If not, it doesn’t puff up during baking, which is an important detail to keep in mind. To obtain a soft and flexible bread, it must be removed from the oven when it seems puffy. In fact, being white also allows it to be toasted later if desired.
