 Frequently asked questions (FAQ)


1. Can I use regular Greek yogurt?

Yes, but the amount of protein will be less.


2. Can I use wholemeal flour instead of spelt flour?

Yes. You can use whole wheat flour (wholemeal flour) but the dough may require a little more yogurt.


3. Can I prepare the dough in advance?

No. It is best to prepare the dough just before baking, because the baking powder starts to react after adding the yogurt.


4. The dough sticks to my hands, what should I do?

Add a little spelt flour, gradually, until you have a soft dough that you can shape.


5. How to keep pita bread soft?

After baking, cover it with a clean kitchen towel. So it will retain moisture and remain soft.


6. I don't have a non-stick pan, what should I do?

Coat a regular frying pan with a thin layer of oil.


7. Can I freeze unfried dough?

No. Raw pita bread dough does not freeze. The baking powder starts to react as soon as it is mixed with the Greek yogurt and loses its strength as it stands.

 Cesto postavljana pitanja 


1. Da li mogu da koristim obican grcki jogurt?

Da, ali ce kolicina proteina biti manja.


2. Mogu li da koristim integralno brasno umesto speltinog?

Da. Mozete koristiti integralno psenicno brasno, ali testo moze zahtevati malo vise jogurta.


3. Da li mogu da pripremim testo unapred?

Ne. Najbolje je da testo pripremite neposredno pre pecenja, jer prasak za pecivo pocinje da reaguje nakon dodavanja jogurta.


4. Testo mi se lepi za ruke, sta da radim?

Dodajte malo speltinog brasna, postepeno, dok ne dobijete meko testo koje mozete oblikovati.


5. Kako da pita hleb ostane mekan?

Nakon pecenja pokrijte ga cistom kuhinjskom krpom. Tako ce zadrzati vlagu i ostati mekan.


6. Nemam nelepljiv tiganj, sta da radim?

Premazite obican tiganj tankim slojem ulja.


7. Da li mogu ne peceno testo da zamrznem?

Ne. Sirovo testo za lepinje se ne zamrzava. Prasak za pecivo pocinje da reaguje cim se pomesa sa grckim jogurtom i gubi snagu stajanjem.
