Pitta Breads



Pitta Breads

These always go down very well as a starter.

Use the rotti recipe supplied to make as many full sized rotti as you require, this will be the base for your pitta bread.

Toppings

The best toppings for these are usually oil or margarine based you can use either of them in these recipes as long as you follow the rule of 1 to 3.

This means that for every teaspoon (5ml) of spice you need to mix it with a tablespoon (15ml) of oil or margarine.

If you decide to use oil, the best option is to go with would be olive oil. For easy reference I will use dairy free margarine in the below recipes but keep in mind you can replace it with olive oil.

Rosemary
Rosemary has a very strong taste but it mixes really well with garlic.

If you do use garlic in your recipes, you don’t have to add extra oil or margarine.
Rosemary topping:
1 x Tablespoon of dried, ground rosemary
3 x Tablespoons of dairy free margarine
1 x Tablespoon of garlic (optional)

Mix well together and then spread on a pre-cooked base. Put in a warm oven until the margarine has completely melted and the edge of the base turns light brown.
Take out of the oven, cut into triangles and serve with freshly chopped chillies (chillies are optional).

Thyme or Basil

You will need:
1 x Tablespoon of dried, ground thyme or basil
3 x Tablespoons of dairy free margarine
1 x Tablespoon of garlic (optional)
½ x cup of chopped sundried tomatoes.

Mix the margarine, herbs and garlic together and then spread on a pre-cooked base. Spread the sundried tomatoes evenly over the base. Put in a warm oven until the margarine has completely melted and the edge of the base turns light brown.
