Pita bread from The Palestinian Table (page 38) by Reem Kassis

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Fried eggs with za'atar and sumac; Palestinian frittata; Egg and lamb fry-up; Falafel; Fried baba ghanouj; Za'atar salad; Fish with tahini and onion sauce and pine nuts; Chicken, onion, and sumac casserole; Kafta and tomato bake

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was so fun to make, and it came out great! I used just 2 cups of water instead of 2 1/2, and used 5 cups of APF instead of 00 flour. So fluffy, hearty, and good flavor.

    My go-to pita recipe; this yielded beautifully soft and fluffy pitas.
