"To weave a beautiful pita such as this you need nimble fingers and lots of skill. We`ve still got a lot to learn in that regard for sure."

Ingredients

  • milk - 1 2/3 cups (400 ml)
  • yoghurt - 2/3 cup (150 g)
  • eggs - 3
  • sugar - 7 tablespoons
  • salt - 1 tsp
  • yeast - 2 packets, dry
  • oil - 2/5 cup (100 g)
  • flour - 2 lb (1 kg)

measures

How to make

Pour about 2/5 cup (100 ml) warm milk in a bowl, add the yeast and 2 tbsp flour. Wait for it to activate, sift the flour, then add the remaining products.

Knead a medium hard, stretchy dough. Smear it with oil and cover with foil. When it rises, roll out 4 round sheets, place them on top of each other after oiling them and sprinkling with sugar and poppy seeds (optionally).

Put a glass in the middle and cut it into 8, without cutting the middle itself. Twist each of the resulting pieces once in one direction. Make a cut along the ends of each pieces and fold inward, to make it round.

Put a piece of Turkish delight in the round part of each. Cut the middle and pull outward, in order to make a hole and place the rose in it (made from the small bit of dough that you set aside at the beginning).

Once the pita rises, smear it with beaten yolk, 1 tsp milk and oil. Sprinkle with sugar and seeds. Bake at 340°F (170 °C).
