Homemade pita
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. This versatile bread product—homemade pita—can be used not only as an addition to soups, but also as a base for creating other dishes. The preparation process is very simple, but the dough requires a long rising time; the longer the dough rises, the better the pita will puff up during baking. However, the result will pleasantly surprise and delight you, so patience is essential. I'll explain how. Can be served with tea or coffee.
