Dough for Arabic Pita
Ingredients
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 300 g water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, sesame seeds, and olive oil. Gradually add the water, kneading until you have a soft, non-sticky dough. If needed, add a little more flour. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 7 pieces, roll them into thin pitas, and place them on the tray. Sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top and press them gently to adhere. Bake in a preheated oven at 190-200°C (375-400°F) for around 15 minutes, adjusting according to your oven and your preferred level of doneness.
