Homemade Pitta Bread: Knead all the ingredients together slowly for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is quite smooth and well-blended. Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise overnight in a fairly cool place, but not in the fridge. After an hour, punch down the dough. The following day, dust a work surface with flour and semolina and shape the dough into more or less even pitta bread discs, keeping the dough light and airy. Leave the pittas to rest for 30 minutes, then cook in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat using some olive oil to ensure that they don’t stick to the pan.
