Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 cup warm milk
• ⅓ cup cornstarch
• ½ cup potato starch
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• ⅓ cup tapioca flour
• 1 ¼ cups gluten-free oat flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
• 2 tablespoons xanthan gum

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine oat flour, potato starch, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer; whisk until well mixed, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Whisk milk, egg, olive oil, and vinegar together in a separate bowl until well combined, about 1 minute. Stir milk mixture in gradually to the flour mixture on low speed; mix until a soft dough comes together, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces; roll each piece on a floured surface to a 6-inch circle. Place on the prepared baking sheets; cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Heat a pizza stone in the oven.

Step 5

Spray pita breads with water and place them straight on the hot pizza stone.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
