Ingredients for the Dough
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 300 g water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions for the Dough
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Gradually add the water, kneading until you form a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. If needed, add a little more flour. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 7 pieces, roll each piece into a thin pita, and place them on the baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and gently press them to adhere. Bake in a preheated oven at 190-200°C (375-400°F) for about 15 minutes, depending on your oven and how crispy you want them.
