Topic: Pita bread


  
  Patent 5045329: Perforated pita bread
After pita dough has been rolled and prior to baking of the dough to form pita bread, the flat pancake-like dough form is weakened along a perforation or score line on at least one side of the dough form.
Pita bread is a common staple in middle eastern countries and in recent years has enjoyed considerable and increasing popularity in other areas of the world.
An additional disadvantage of typical pita bread is the fact that, unless the bread is cut with a knife, tearing of the pita bread typically creates an uneven edge which follows the weak portions of the bread's surface.

Breads are a group of staple foods prepared by baking, steaming, or frying dough consisting minimally of flour and water.
Bread may be eaten alone, often with butter, peanut butter, or other nut butter, or a sweet spread such as preserves, jam, jelly, marmalade, honey, or used as an enclosure for a sandwich.
Many breads, such as the famous baguette are made from a straight dough, which means that all of the ingredients are combined in one step, and the dough baked after the rising time.

 Pita Bread
You will need a large bread bowl, a rolling pin, and unglazed quarry tiles or several baking sheets, or alternatively a cast iron or other heavy skillet or griddle at least 9 inches in diameter.
Bake each bread for 3 or 4 minutes, until the bread has gone into a full "balloon" or until it is starting to turn lightly golden, whichever happens first.
The more you bake pitas the more you will become familiar with all the little tricks and pitfalls, and your breads will more consistently "balloon." But even then, if you're like us, it won't always "balloon" fully and you won't mind because the taste will still be wonderful.

Let the dough circles rest here for at least 15 minutes while you preheat your oven to a hot 500°F. When the pita circles have finished resting, place the baking sheet on the oven bottom or, if this is not possible, on the lowest rack.
At the end of the minute, place the sheet on a rack higher in the oven and continue baking anywhere from 3 to 7 minutes, until the pitas have blown up into balloons and are lightly browned.
If the pitas baked right on the stone, you'll probably want to transfer them to a baking sheet, which is already in place on the oven rack, for this second part of their baking.

 Relationships between protein composition and Mixograph parameters and pita bread making quality of wheat flours.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Flours milled from 39 varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum) of diverse bread making quality were analyzed for their Zeleny and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sedimentation volumes, protein contents, gliadin (amount of gluten soluble in 70% ethanol), 0.05 M acetic acid (AA) soluble and insoluble (residue) proteins, high molecular weight glutenin composition and mixing characteristics.
Pita bread quality correlated with SDS sedimentation volume, MT, TA and the ratio of gliadin protein to 0.05 M AA soluble protein.
The Mixograph parameter TA accounted for 52% of the variation in pita bread quality.
