This right here is a staple in our home. It’s pita bread or kzad. We even eat it with spaghetti. You don’t need to put them in the oven. You can cook them over the stove top. Just like that. You got the pot. It’s my favorite bread. 1 cup and a half of warm water. A teaspoon of yeast. Mix it and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. 3 and 1/4 cup of flour and a teaspoon of salt. Mix it until it clumps up into a big bowl. A tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Start using our hands. And then while we’re using our hand, we’re going to gracefully just put a little bit of flour at a time. My dough is perfect. Put it right in here. A little bit of oil all around it. Warm area for about 1 hour to rise. Dough now that it doubled in size. As you guys can see, 10 equal balls. Okay. So, we’re going to just roll them out with our hands and then roll them out with a roller. Let them rise for a little bit. Heat up a pan on a medium low heat and put the dough on it. You’ll notice it’ll start to create some bubbles about a minute after. Then flip it over using a spatula to cover up the air pockets. But you don’t know where they are. But if you notice every time you use that spatula, it works perfectly. Don’t press too hard. Just lightly. Take it off when it’s golden brown and enjoy. These are great.

  1. Pita Bread

    Ingredients:
    • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 cups warm water
    • 1 tablespoon yeast
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps activate yeast)

    Instructions:
    1. Activate yeast:
    In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, and olive oil. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.
    2. Mix dough:
    Add the flour and salt. Mix by hand or with a mixer for about 4 minutes until smooth.
    3. First rise:
    Lightly oil a clean bowl. Place the dough inside, turning it so it’s coated with oil. Cover with a warm towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours (until doubled in size).
    4. Shape:
    Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into equal pieces and shape into balls. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
    5. Roll out:
    Roll each ball into a disk about 1/4-inch thick. Place on a floured surface and let rest another 15 minutes.
    6. Cook:
    • Heat a pan over medium heat for 2 minutes.
    • Lightly oil the pan with spray, then wipe with a napkin so it’s just a thin coat.
    • Cook each pita for 1–2 minutes per side. It should puff up with air pockets. If needed, press gently with a spatula to help it rise.
    7. Serve & store:
    Remove from pan, stack the pitas, and cover with a towel to keep soft.
    • Best eaten fresh.
    • Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
    • If too hard, warm them slightly before serving.

    💡 Tip: Don’t roll them out too thin if you want soft, fluffy pita.

  5. Hi All! Can't wait to try this. I have a question for the channel's followers: I watched Connie's video on a dessert that uses something that looks like shredded wheat. I bought the wheat, chopped pistachios and even the flat round pan used for baking. Guess what I can't find? Yep, the recipe and video! Help!!
