This Pan Fried Pita Bread comes together in minutes and will make you never want to eat plain pita bread again!
This recipe might seem really simple, because it is, but it’s so delicious! Â Pan fried pita bread is one of the easiest things to prepare and will make your pita bread and hummus snack 1,000 times better!
I first had this pita bread at a friends house a long, long time ago. Â Her mom made it for us and as soon as I got home I told my mom and sister about this amazing pita bread and we’ve all been making it ever since. Â A while ago my sister texted me and told me that she had made it for her friends and that they all loved it so I needed to post the recipe asap!
So, now I’m posting it for everyone to have and I hope you all love it as much as we love it 🙂
Pan Fried Pita Bread with Tamari
- Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- Pita bread
- Olive oil
- Tamari or soy sauce
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Slice the pita bread into wedges. Coat the bottom of the pan with a small amount of olive oil, about 2 teaspoons, and then place pita bread into the pan in a single layer.
- Drizzle the pita bread with the tamari, however much you like – I used 1-2 teaspoons. Let pita bread cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until softened and beginning to brown. You can add a teaspoon or so more of tamari to the other side of the pita bread if desired.
- Repeat steps if making more than one serving of pita bread. Serve pita bread with hummus and vegetables.

I LOVE pita bread with hummus, and pan frying it sounds awesome!
I can’t wait to try this! Looks delicious and so simple too 🙂
This looks delicious- I love that you flavored it just using soy sauce, I do that when roasting tofu, and it’s so delicious and healthier 🙂
I was hoping you would give a recipe for making the pita bread. Do you have one?
Hi Penny, I thought about trying to come up with my own gluten free pita recipe, but with an 8 week old I just didn’t have the time! I found a storebought gluten free pita for this recipe, but I’ve seen a few gluten free pita recipes when searching google 🙂
I loveeee pita bread but man would this take it to the next level! I am loving that touch of tamari!
Mmm…warm pita bread with tamari? Sometimes the simplest of recipes turn out to be the best thing ever! This would be the perfect thing to serve for a party or a football game, which is constantly on my TV now. I will definitely be giving it a try soon. It sounds so good!!
Easy to make. Delicious. Fantastic!

Thanks!! It’s one of my favorite things to make 🙂
Serve with tyrokafteri (chilli and feta dip) and you will be in heaven for as long as both last… If you’re lucky about 5 mins!
Haha, sounds delicious!!
This looks so tasty and I love the simplicity. 🤗
I see the measurements are approximate …are the measurements shown for one piece of bread, generally speaking?
TIA for any info!

Hi Kathleen, Yeah, for about one large pita or as many as will fit in your frying pan when cut into triangles. I hope that helps!
