My take on this Mid East staple. My man says the locals in arena … ate a lot of it regularly. ..like every meal? My dear friend taught me how she made it in a pan. So this is our "joint" recipe! Although it says pan fried in the intro it's more like grilled on the stove. leftover pitas become a nice snack. Yep that new rage, trendy sensation… pita chips!!!! It's a healthy option too

How To Make pitas

Step 1

Into flour place water, baking powder, salt, 1/2 tblsps oil, mix well ,knead that dough!!

Step 2

Heat a grill pan. Pinch off a little of the dough and roll into ball. Flatten in your hands.
Step 3

Add a little of the remaining oil, place pita in pan.
Step 4

This is where the magic begins. The dough will "puff" as it sits in the pan. When one side is puffy turn and repeat on other side. Grill/fry until just golden. B
Step 5

Cover with towel to keep warm.. Tip: cut up left overs and toast them up. . M mm snack time !
