Garlic, Thyme and Lemon Pitta Bread RecipeOrigin: Middle East Period: Traditional |
|
This is a classic and very delicious variant on the standard pitta bread recipe. Ingredients
6 garlic cloves, very finely sliced 
Garlic, Thyme and Lemon Pitta Bread Preparation:Method:Fry the garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil until just browned then tip the garlic and oil into your mixing bowl and allow to cool. Meanwhile, pre-heat your oven to 240°C and place your baking tray in there to keep warm. Mix all the dry ingredients together (including the yeast) and add to the bowl containing the fried garlic, along with the thyme and lemon zest. Add the oil and half the water and mix together. Now add just enough water so that the ingredients come together as a soft, pliable, dough. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Wrap in clingfilm and set aside to rest for half an hour. Once the time is up, divide the dough into 5 x 100g balls. Use a rolling pin to roll each one of these into flat ovals about 5 mm thick (ie pitta bread shapes). (I recommend that you do two at a time as it's easier to handle them this way. Wrap any remaining dough in clingfilm so they don't dry out.) Take the hot baking tray out of the oven, lie your two pitta breads on the tray and immediately replace in the oven. Bake for about 4–5 minutes, or until risen and only just coloured. Immediately remove from the tray and leave to cool under a cloth (this prevents them from drying). You can either freeze until later or re-heat that day to eat. Continue cooking the remaining pitta breads until all 6 are done. |
