GF Vegan Microwave Pita Chips.
This post may change your life. I love pita chips but the gluten free pita selection leaves much to be desired. This is totally okay because this recipe is extremely easy, tasty, and makes plenty of chips for all to enjoy.
It all starts with Bob’s Red Mill AP Baking Flour. I love this stuff because it’s not completely rice flour and the flavor is pretty delicious once baked.
The batter has few simple ingredients and takes little time to put together. I use yeast mainly for its flavor. Because there are no gums or binding agents added to replace the gluten, the dough won’t be able to trap yeast generated gasses but the flavor yeast adds is just what these chips need.
The method is simple: mix, roll, microwave, turn, microwave, enjoy.
They come out tasting like crunchy delicious flatbreads. You can dip them in anything, but my favorite was almond butter and strawberry jam. Also hummus, bruschetta* and tapenade work deliciously with these chips.
They’re also great by themselves!
Gluten Free, Vegan 3 Minute Pita Chips
Prep time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes
Special equipment:
Ingredients:
Directions:
Mix one cup of flour, yeast, water and sugar to a large bowl. Mix and let sit for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the flour, salt and oil, mix and let sit another 5-8 minutes
Cut sheets of parchment paper that will fit in your microwave when folded.
Dust the paper with extra GF flour or cornmeal. Make golf ball sized pieces of dough and roll between the paper into a circle as thin as possible. Score with a knife into 4 wedges.
Microwave folded in the parchment for 1 minute 20 seconds covered, then 1 minute on each side with the parchment open. The cooking time of the sides will depend on thickness, so experiment!
Break apart and enjoy!
Have a great day!
