Yeast-Free Living – Is It Okay To Eat Pita Bread?
If you have recently started on a yeast free diet, you are probably wondering what foods you can eat and which foods you can’t. Since a lot of bread contains yeast to make it rise, you may be wondering about pita bread. It doesn’t rise up like normal bread, so does it still contain yeast?
Well, the answer is, yes, normal pita bread does in fact contain yeast. However, you need not despair, as there are alternative pita breads that you can buy that are free from it, or you can indeed make your own. Here is a great recipe for you to try.
Ingredients:
* 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
* 1 cup soy flour
* 1 cup unbleached white flour
* 1 and a half cups of distilled or purified water
* Half a teaspoon of baking powder
* A dash of sea salt
Note: if you are using gluten-free flours, you will need to add egg to the mix in order for it to bind together well.
Directions:
1. Mix together the olive oil, water and the salt. Add in the flour and baking powder, then mix until smooth like a pancake mixture.
2. Rub inside of frying pan with a paper towel dipped in olive oil. Let frying pan sit for 10 minutes.
3. Place the frying pan onto the hob at a medium-low temperature, and wait for 3 minutes and then tip the batter into the middle of the frying pan.
4. Tilt the frying pan in a circular motion until the whole of the bottom of the pan is covered with the desired thickness of batter.
5. Once the top of the mixture has gone dry, flip it over and cook the other side. This should take about a minute on each side.
6. Eat.
Important: Enjoy!
There are still a lot of great, tasty foods that a person can enjoy once you have removed yeast. Eating a yeast free diet is actually a lot easier than you might think. For FREE help with living on a yeast free diet, visit Yeast Free Diets
