Hey!
So you’re considering making our Pitta Flat Breads?! Do it! These are no ordinary flat breads, nor average pitta. Very tasty little bread that goes so well alongside the likes of our Lambage dish! Although if we’re being honest, we scran’d them all immediately after the shoot still warm from the oven. No regrets!

Start mixing everything together and slowly integrate the Water.
Work the dough until smooth and elastic, shape the dough and place into a bowl and cover with a damp towel. Prove for 1-2 hours.
Flour a work surface and divide the dough into 8-10 parts depending on what size your after or how much you want to stretch it and roll it into a small ball.

Stage #3
>Bake it til’
you make it
In a perfect world you will slap on your BBQ or place your Griddle on a high heat. But if not just get a really hot pan on.
Work in small batches and cook the Pittas on each side untill slightly scorched and puffed. This should take about 30-45 seconds on each side.
Keep going until the whole batch is cooked.
