Directions

Mix water, yeast and sugar and leave for 10-15 minutes until it gets foamy.

In the meantime, mix flour and salt in a big bowl and press a hole into it. Pour 1.5 tbsp. of olive oil  and the yeast mixture into the hole and knead into a soft dough.

Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave it in a warm place for approx. 45-60 minutes until the volume has doubled.

Place the dough on a flour-covered surface, knead it briefly and cut in half. Form two round pitas, 15-18 cm in size.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and cover it with a bit of flour and durum wheat flour. Place the pitas on it and let them rest again for 30 minutes.

Then form lattice design pita-grid using your fingertips covered in olive oil. Mix egg yolk and 1.5 tbsp. of olive oil and apply with a brush. Garnish with sesame and caraway seed as you like.

Bake the pitas in a preheated oven (200°C) for approx. 20 minutes.

Cover the loaves with a damp cloth to keep them warm. Serve warm if possible.

 

Nutrition Tips
