Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend and I've got the best munchies for you! Instead of going through the hassle of making a 48hr 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 chucks of blue cheese, hot sauce, and gorgeous celery & carrot slaw. Insanely delish. YASSS!

Classic Pita

Step 1

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

300 grams of lukewarm water

25 grams of sugar

10 grams of dry yeast

Step 2

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.

500 grams of flour

10 grams of salt

Step 3

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 4

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

Step 5

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 6

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

Step 7

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 8

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 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

YASSS!
