Babies quick oven pitta bread
Quick oven pittas- no yeast no rise! These baby and toddler friendly quick oven pittas are super easy to make and are a non-UPF baby pitta bread alternative. They keep for a couple of days in an airtight container or you can freeze and then defrost. They are also suitable for babies on step 2 of the iMAP non-IgE milk ladder.
YOU NEED
100g wholemeal flour
50mls milk
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
TO MAKE
Place the flour in a bowl, grab a wooden spoon and stir in the milk
Then stir through the olive oil before grabbing the dough with your hands and kneading for 3-4 mins
Divide the dough in 2 then roll into 2 balls. Roll the balls out one by one with a rolling pin. Place the pitta rounds onto a sheet of baking paper and place in the middle of the oven for 15 mins then remove and allow to cool
Slice each pitta into 4 fingers!
Try dipping the pitta in hummus, dipping into a soft boiled egg or spreading some dairy free spread - or a baby-safe pesto - on top
Step 2 milk ladder recipe (non-IgE milk allergy)
Milk ladder instructions:
Day 1: Start with 1-2 fingers
Day 2: 3 fingers
Day 3: target portion one whole pitta (4 fingers!)
Tip: if your little one can’t manage a whole pitta, try spreading it out across the day.
