Notes
The amount of water indicated may vary. Add the water gradually to the flour mixture to achieve the right consistency of the dough. It should be soft, but not dry and not mushy.
It is essential that the water be lukewarm (not hot and not cold) so that the yeast can do its work.
Fresh yeast can be used instead of dry yeast. You need 25 g of it. First dissolve the fresh yeast in lukewarm water together with sugar.
If the dough has become too mushy, add some more flour while kneading. If the dough is too dry, add some water.
Be sure to knead the yeast dough for about 10 minutes. This will make the vegan flatbread fluffy and soft.
Let the yeast dough rise in a warm place.
Instead of 6 pita breads, you can bake one large pita bread from the dough.
Brush the doner bread very carefully and lightly with olive oil before baking so that it does not collapse.
Do not bake the kebab bread too long. It should have a light color after baking. Otherwise it will taste too dry.
