Method

Gradually add up to 300ml water to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.

Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth.

Cover and rest the dough for 1½ hours until doubled in size.

Mix the psyllium powder with 300ml water and let it thicken.

Combine flour, seeds, sugar, salt, yeast, eggs, vinegar, oil, and psyllium mixture in a bowl.

Preheat the oven to 220°C and heat three heavy baking trays.

Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll into 4mm thick ovals.

Bake pittas on hot trays for 10-12 minutes until puffed.

Wrap hot pittas in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.
