निर्देश

Make the pita:

1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt and mix well.

2. Add the water and knead lightly for approximately 10 minutes, until you get a smooth dough.

3. Place the dough in a clean big bowl and cover with a plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Proof for 1-2 hours or until the dough doubles its size.

4. In a small bowl mix together the cheeses and black pepper.

5. Divide the dough into balls. Each ball should weigh approximately 55 g.

6. Then, using a floured rolling pin, roll the pieces into a circle.

7. Add cheese in the middle (about 1-2 tbsp.) and gently cover the cheese with the dough.

8. Gently, roll the pieces into a circle that's about 0.2 inch thick.

9. Place the pitas on a kitchen towel and then cover it with another kitchen towel. Space out the pitas so they have room to grow.

Let proof for 40-50 minutes.

10. While proofing, combine the parsley, chili flakes and olive oil and set aside.

11. Preheat a non-stick pan over high medium heat.

12. Once the pitas are proofed and the pan is warm enough, place one pita on the pan (without oil or butter) and flip it over every 20-30 seconds until your pita is ready. Just before taking it out of the pan, brush it lightly with the olive oil-herb mixture.

Avocado dip:

1. In a food processor, combine avocado, lemon juice, walnuts, salt & pepper, parsley and cilantro. Pulse until smooth. Add the olive oil and pulse until combined.
