Recipe 5: Pita Bread and Hummus


Recipe name: Pita Bread and Hummus
Time taken: half an hour cook + 12-16 hour preparation
Cuisine: Mediterranean, vegetarian, appetiser/snack


Section 1: Pita Bread
Ingredients (12 pita breads about 8 inch)
  1. White flour(maida): 250g
  2. Water: 150g
  3. Salt: 5g
  4. Active dry Yeast: 0.2g

Recipe
  1. Take a small bowl and add 3 table spoon of the 150g water to it. Put the yeast in this container and keep aside to activate.
  2. Take a large vessel to knead the dough and begin mixing the flour and remaining water. Stop when just about incorporated.
  3. Sprinkle the salt on the dough and pour the activated yeast. Wet your hand and begin to knead the dough.
  4. Once kneaded, keep the dough in an airtight container(I wrapped the vessel in which the dough was kneaded with cling film), and keep the dough to rise for 12-16 hours.
  5. Once the rising time is over, divide the dough into 12 parts and roll each part out. Cook the pita breads.
Note: Since the volume of dough is small and the amount of yeast is less too, there will not be a significant increase in the size of the dough after rising.


Section 2: Tahini
Ingredients (1/4th cup tahini)
  1. Sesame seeds: 0.5 cup
  2. Olive oil: 1-2 tbsp
Appliances
Food processor

Recipe
  1. Roast the sesame seeds on a wide saucepan till the turn light brown and are fragrant.
  2. Transfer the roasted sesame seeds onto a flat vessel too cool down.
  3. Add the cool sesame seeds to the food processor and mix until a crumbly paste is obtained.(This takes about a minute)
  4. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and once again mix till the mixture is smooth.

Section 3: Hummus
Ingredients
  1. Chickpeas: 250g
  2. Lemon juice: 0.25 cup
  3. Tahini: 0.25 cup
  4. Garlic: 1 clove, minced
  5. Olive oil: 2 tbsp
  6. Cumin: 0.5 tbsp, ground
  7. Salt: To taste
  8. Water: 2-3 tbsp
Appliances
Food processor

Recipe
  1. Add the lemon juice to the tahini in the food processor. Combine the mixture and keep scraping the mixture from the edges to give a smooth texture.
  2. Add olive oil, garlic, cumin and salt to the food processor. Mix until well blended.
  3. Add half the chickpeas to the mixture and blend. Once this is blended, add the remaining chickpeas and blend till the mixture is smooth. 
  4. If the mixture is still too thick, or contains bits of chickpeas, add water till the perfect texture is reached.
And Pita Bread and Hummus is made! It can be stored for up to a week, and is a great light snack!
