Original Israeli pita

And here is the recipe that Alex mentioned in the blog article. Guys, this is soooo good! You have to try it! Here’s the recipe for your pita dough. As there are a lot of us (thank goodness) we use one kilo of flour, of course you can reduce it by half.

Pita recipe:
1 kg flour
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp salt
2.5 cups lukewarm water

Some flour for rolling out

Preparation:
Mix everything together in a bowl and knead well. Leave to rest for about an hour. When the dough has risen (about twice the size), form a “sausage” and cut into slices of the same size. I love the pitas very thin and crispy. That’s why I use very little dough and roll it out thinly. If you like it fluffier and softer, use more dough.

The pitas are then placed on the hot sadg and “baked” on both sides. You turn them over when the pita starts to bubble. This happens quite quickly, so be careful.

Alternatively, you can use a pizza stone or a cast iron pan. (Benjamin’s note: If you like barbecuing anyway and are looking for a shared experience: https://www.fire-zeug.de/ )

These are our favorite side dishes:

Labane (sour cream cheese) with marjoram and olive oil
Olive oil with marjoram and fresh parsley
(or without parsley)
Tzatziki
Nutella

A tip: The pitas taste best warm straight from the sadg.

We love spending time together with the whole family. The kids are allowed to roll out and bake their own pitas. So everyone has their own individual shape.

We hug you and send you relaxed greetings from Israel.
