Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend, and I’ve got the best munchies for you! Instead of going through the hassle of making a 48-hour pizza dough, just make pita and slice it in half (you can also buy the pita if you’re feeling especially lazy ????). Load the tiny pizza base with silky, sexy, blue cheese sauce, fried chicken tossed in hot sauce, and bake to perfection. Once toasted and crunchy, finish with chunks of blue cheese, hot sauce, and gorgeous celery & carrot slaw. Insanely delish. YASSS!

Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

Subrecipe 1

First make your own pita! you have the recipe attached here above. If you have no time (or patience) to do so, simply get a pita from your local store.

step 2

Make the blue cheese sauce: In a pot, melt the butter and whisk in the flour.

step 3

After a minute, add the milk and simmer.

step 4

Add the blue cheese, turn off the heat, and keep whisking until the cheese has completely dissolved into the sauce. Set aside.

step 5

Prepare the batter for the fried chicken: combine the egg, milk, and pickle juice.

step 6

Add the flour, salt, and pepper and whisk until homogeneous.

step 7

Dip the chicken thighs in the batter and let them sit there while you heat up the frying oil.

step 8

Once the oil has heated up, fry the chicken thighs for 3 minutes on each side.

step 9

Cut the fried chicken into cubes. Toss them in a bowl with hot sauce (to your liking).

step 10

Heat up your oven to 450°F or 240°C.

step 11

Cut the pita open in half, and spread the blue cheese sauce on each half.

step 12

Place a couple of cubed fried chicken.

step 13

Bake for 10 minutes or until it gets crispy and a dark golden color on top.

step 14

In the meantime, cut the carrots and the celery into super-thin juliennes and season with salt.

step 15

Remove from the oven and add crumbs of blue cheese and slaw on top. Add more hot sauce to your liking.

step 16

Enjoy the game!

step 17

YASSS!

step 18

Classic Pita

In a bowl, mix the water and yeast. Add sugar and mix well.

step 19

Add the flour and mix all ingredients until there is almost no flour remaining in the bowl. Add salt. Move the dough out of the bowl and knead it on a work surface.

step 20

Knead dough manually for about 7 to 10 minutes until smooth and sexy. If the dough is dry, feel free to wet your hands, and the flour will absorb easily.

step 21

Round and place the dough in a bowl and cover with a towel. Let the dough rest until nearly double the volume.

step 22

Divide into 100-120 gr pieces. Round each piece into a perfect tight ball and let sit for 10 min, covered with a towel.

step 23

With a rolling pin open the Pitas to 0.5 cm thick. Place the Pitas to proof on a towel for 20 minutes.

step 24

Heat a large strong pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Lower the heat to low-medium and bake the pita on the side that touched the towel before.

step 25

After 10 seconds turn to the other side. Another 10 seconds and turn back. And this is how you play with the Pita until you get a stunning pocket.

step 26

Move the pita to a basket / bowl covered with a towel that will avoid the Pita from drying and hardening.

step 27

Fill the pita with any good and send me a pic!

step 28

YASSS!
