Ingredients

  • 160 ml milk at room temperature
  • 80 ml water at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 320 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Utensils

  • 1 bowl
  • 1 pan
  • 1 rolling pin

Making

1

Put the milk, water, sugar and yeast in a bowl and mix.

2

Add the flour, salt and thyme to the bowl.

3

Knead until the mixture comes out of our hands (we may need to help you by adding more flour in our hands).

4

Put the dough in a large bowl of olive oil and cover it with a cloth. Let it go up until it doubles in size. It can take from 30 minutes to 1h30 depending on the temperature of our house.

5

As soon as our dough doubles, cut into 6 equal pieces.

6

Roll on a floured surface with the rolling pin (diameter 20 cm).

7

Place a saucepan over medium-low heat and pour in the olive oil.

8

Bake each pie for 1 to 2 minutes per side until it turns golden.

9

Cut our pies at 4 and serve them with thyme and olive oil. Salt with pepper as needed.

You can accompany the pitas with olive oil, tzatziki, taramosalata, yogurt dip or to make a homemade souvlaki! Otherwise, you can use them at your aperitifs.
