There is nothing like a hot fresh pita. It is simple to make and can be cooked in a pan if you do not have a grill. You can top it with any spice or cheese.

Grilled Za'atar Pita

Ingredients

  • 500 gr all-purpose flour

  • 15 grams salt

  • 10 grams instant dry yeast

  • 60 grams sugar

  • 12 grams olive oil

  • 300 grams water

  • Za'atar

Directions

  1. In a mixer fitted with a dough hook knead all the ingredients (except the za'atar and finishing oil) for about 6 minutes, until you obtain a smooth dough. You can of course knead it by hand as well.

  2. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover and set aside to proof for 2 hours.

  3. You can prepare the dough the day before and place it in the refrigerator after the kneading is done. If you are using a dough made ahead, please take it out of the fridge 2 hours before you plan to grill it.

  4. Divide the dough into 20 equal balls and place them on a lightly floured surface or tray. Cover with a kitchen towel and let proof for one hour.

  5. Preheat the grill to high.

  6. Using a rolling pin flatten each ball dough to about a 1/4 inch thick disk. Cook the pita on the grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and brush the top with a mixture of za'atar and olive oil.

  7. I like to stack them to keep them warm.
