The name of the recipe is hot-linked to her recipe post. The back of the bag is probably in Korean, which I don't read or speak. (I do read Japanese, but that doesn't help.) I would do a google search for sweet potato flour and see if you can get nutritional information. It is not a common flour, even in gluten-free baking, so that information may be difficult to come by. I have info on other more typical GF flours, but sweet potato flour is too new and rarely used to be in any of my sources. Good luck! Thanks for coming by! -Sea Risa, The recipe is linked in the text above in the first paragraph where it says “Luckily I was immediately inspired when I saw her photo for Sweet Potato Pitta Bread.” The name of the recipe is hot-linked to her recipe post.

I don't see anyplace on the site to click on that says "recipe" or anything like that. I have some sweet potato flour and have had no luck finding good recipes to use it in. Also, the back of the bag is in Korean or some other language and have no idea what the nutritional breakdown is. Do you have that information? You have a great blog. I am not a gluten-free girl but I try and eat healthy. I would love to use my sweet potato flour and make this recipe. I adore pita bread. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for coming by! :D I hear you on the yeast taste thing- it's a tricky thing to get right and age of the yeast can make a big difference. Maybe mine wasn't the freshest. ;) I did sprinkle the pitas with water, actually, but maybe I should have tried the old "toss in a few ice cubes" trick. Perhaps once I manage to empty out my freezer a bit and actually have room for an ice cube tray I can do that. heh heh. Flour might be a feature- but I'm not sure. I could always sprinkle it with flour after rolling out and see what happens. :) Thanks for the lovely recipe! -Sea Hi Naomi!

I'm sorry your pittas didn't puff, I think yeast varies so much that it's best to play with it till you get the amount that's right for you. I find if I use too much yeast the bread gets an alcoholic taste that I'm not keen on. I wouldn't refrigerate it though, better to warm absolutely everything like you were bathing a delicate baby! I think the key to puffing is to get a really steamy atmosphere in the hottest oven and sprinkle the pittas with water just before they go in. I like your trick with the plastic bag, but I wonder if the flour on the outside contrbutes to the crust too and therefore encourages puffing? Hmmm.... I'd love to hear if you do trial the recipe again. I look forward to seeing what one pot meal you come up with too. x x x Sea,
