And don’t worry, we don’t need to substitute any wild ingredients here, either. This recipe is made with a simple 2-ingredient base, much like my protein bagels or breakfast bagel bombs.
Recipes like this often call for self-rising flour, but that is not a staple in everyone’s kitchen. But don’t sweat it; self-rising flour is simply all-purpose flour that has been pre-mixed with baking powder and salt.
In this case, we’re just going to use all 3 of those ingredients instead. But if you have self-rising flour, it will be even easier for ya.
Soft Bread Recipe
This “hack” is great to use for any bread recipes you may be wanting to make, and I use it as a starting point for many of my recipes before spicing them: Pretzel Biscuits, Pizza Bagel Bites, and Everything Bagel Pull Apart Bread, to name a few.
This dough isn’t going to rise (since we are using no yeast) and after one hour, it is going to look exactly the same.
When the dough sits, the gluten relaxes and the dough becomes stretchier. It’s going to make it easier to roll out into circles, and it’s going to be the secret to the “poof.”
Quick & Easy Homemade Pita Bread
You can make this pita bread without letting the dough rest, and it will still be delicious, but it won’t accomplish those wonderful pita pockets.
PS: I experimented with letting the dough sit for one hour when I made my protein bagels, and they puffed up SO much to the point that they did not look like bagels anymore. The proof is in the poof.
Lightly knead each ball of dough and roll them in your hands until smooth (you don’t want there to be any large gaps in the dough).
Pita Pockets With Homemade Pita Bread
Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Let sit at room temperature for one hour.
Note: the dough is not going to rise during this hour and it is going to look exactly the same. Trust the process!
Place one dough ball on a lightly floured surface and sprinkle some additional flour on top. This will help prevent the dough from sticking when rolling it out.
Skillet Flatbread Recipe
Using a rolling pin (or any round object if you do not have one) roll out the dough ball into a flat circle.
I estimate that it is probably 1/8″ thick, but you can estimate based on my photo below. We want the pita to be nice and thin to allow it to puff up in the oven.
Do not bake these directly on a baking sheet- be sure to use parchment paper or a silicone mat. If you bake directly on the sheet, the bottoms of the pita bread are going to crisp up way more than we would like:
No Yeast Flatbread No Rising Time
Check on the pita bread after 5 minutes. In my oven, it was clear that I had “hot spots” in my oven, as certain pita was puffing up more than others.
Even if the pita bread doesn’t completely puff up in the oven, you should be able to open it up into a pita pocket, and that is a beautiful thing.
Enjoy this pita bread without yeast in any number of ways: stuffed pita pockets, pita wraps, or cut up and eaten as an appetizer with your favorite dip!
Easy Air Fryer Flatbread Recipe
It does! It ends up being more like Naan bread but if you toss the pita into a hot pan it puffs up very quickly and will only require about 1 minute per side. I actually want to put together separate instructions for just that- thanks for the reminder!
Dry ingredients salt, Backing Powder and Garlic Powder each Tsp. does Tsp mean Table spoon or does it mean Tea spoon I have always seen Tab with upper case T for Table spoon and teaspoon with lower case t.
Just finished making these. Followed the directions and let dough rest 1 hour, rotated pan. Still had little to no poofage. Thought the second batch would be better since oven and pan were hot, but nope. I make bread regularly, but this one has eluded me.
Ingredient No Flour Flatbread (no Yeast!)
I'm so sorry, Kelly! I wonder what the issue could be- I've made these numerous times! Granted, sometimes a few of them won't poof up the same because my oven has hot spots that seem to work better. But when they don't poof up, I'm still able to open them up and use them as pit pockets. Was that the case for you?

Buttermilk or sour milk is added to the flour, baking powder, and salt. It is combined with a fork and then just gathered to form a soft dough. To make the sour milk, just add a teaspoon of lemon juice into a cup of whole or full-fat milk.
Allow it to stand for 5 minutes before adding to your flour. I have tried both, either buttermilk or sour milk in the recipe and it turns out perfectly delicious and soft. So use what you have, because both give great results.
After the dough is formed, you can leave it to rest for 10 to 20 minutes. This will help the gluten in the flour absorb the liquid and make rolling out easier. Divide the dough into six equal portions. Using a rolling pin, roll it to about ¼ inch / ½ cm thickness.
