Violet Syrup Pita with Winter Langrin Flour and AllPurpose Flour

These luscious pitas are a delicious combination of nutritious winter langrin flour and all-purpose flour, sweetened with violet syrup for a charming twist.

Ingredients

• 1 cup winter langrin flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons violet syrup
• Olive oil, for brushing

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the winter langrin flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to combine.
   • In a separate bowl, mix the warm water with the violet syrup until well dissolved.
   • Gradually pour the water mixture into the flour mixture while stirring. Combine until a dough starts to form.

2. Knead the Dough:

   • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
   • Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.

3. Let the Dough Rise:

   • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.

4. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or an upside-down baking sheet inside to heat.

5. Shape the Pitas:

   • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4-6 equal pieces.
   • Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.

6. Bake the Pitas:

   • Carefully place the disks on the hot baking stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until they puff up and turn lightly golden.

7. Brush with Violet Syrup:

   • Once out of the oven, brush the pitas lightly with more violet syrup to enhance their sweet, floral flavor.

8. Serve:

   • Allow the pitas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, as a snack, or with your favorite dips and toppings.
