Palatable pita bread. Looks like it was always present at the table. We just used to call it in another way. My grandma cooked lean dense flatbreads. We cut their sides, still hot and crispy, and generously stuffed the breads. With a jam, made of translucent ripe plums, golden honey, specially cooked liver pate – all plays of flavours and colours combined perfectly with simple, but incredibly tasty baking.
I still believe that pita is the best bread to accompany snacks. And now I know for sure that it is easy to cook it and can be easily combined with any fillings. For example, pita with hummus makes a perfect match!
I tried to do my best to cook a single serve portion, but I failed. Pita requires a big company of friends. It gives a feeling of fiesta. Try it as well – that’s just a perfect idea for any party or friends’ get-togethers. Mix fillings, sauces, simply serve it with oil – and stuff yourselves with this heaven-like food! We’ve already started that.
