Makes 6

Ingredients

250g strong white bread flour
7g sachet dried yeast
½ tsp salt
50g Crespo Pitted Dry Black Olives, chopped
3 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped
2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place the flour, yeast, salt, olives and rosemary in a large bowl or the bowl of a food mixer fitted with a dough hook. Gradually mix in 160ml hand hot water and the oil to give a sticky dough.  Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.  Transfer to a large greased bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to prove for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  2. Preheat the oven to 230oC, gas mark 8. Place a large baking tray to preheat.

  3. Knock back the dough and divide into 6 even pieces.  On a floured surface, roll each into an oval shape approx. 16cm long.

  4. Dust the baking tray lightly with flour and add the pittas, spacing them apart a little.  Bake for 5-8 minutes until puffed and golden.

  5. Wrap in a clean tea towel straight away to cool down.


Cooks tip:
Try swapping 100g of the white flour for wholemeal bread flour. Great served with houmous or filled with your favourite filling.
