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
Instructions In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, sesame seeds, and olive oil. Gradually add water, kneading until you have a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. If necessary, add a bit 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 one into a thin pita round, and place them on the sheet. Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds and press gently to help them stick. Bake in a preheated oven at 190-200°C (375-400°F) for about 15 minutes, depending on your oven and desired crispiness.
