"A pita with feta you can break pieces off of and eat and eat..."

Ingredients

  • milk - 4/5 cup (200 ml) warm + 2 - 3 tablespoons
  • eggs - 2 (1 yolk for smearing)
  • yoghurt - 2 tablespoons
  • oil - 2 tablespoons + 2 tablespoons for smearing
  • sugar - 1 tsp
  • salt - 1 tsp
  • yeast - 2 1/5 tsp (11 g)
  • flour - 4 1/2 cups
  • feta cheese - 3.5 oz (100 g)
  • sesame seeds - for sprinkling
measures

How to make

Pour the yeast in a bowl, add the sugar and pour on the milk.

Stir well and wait for the yeast to activate. Then add 1 whole egg + the egg white of the other, the yoghurt, oil and salt. Stir again. Next add the flour - gradually, a little at a time.

Knead a soft, nonstick dough. Cover with a towel and leave to rise for 40 min. Then divide the risen dough into 4 equal-sized balls, roll out each into a thin, round sheet.

Place 1 sheet in a medium-sized round tray, smear it lightly with oil, sprinkle with grated feta cheese and place a 2nd sheet on top. Repeat this process with the rest of the sheets but don't smear the last one with oil and don't sprinkle with feta.

Place a glass in the middle of the dough and cut out 9 identical parts, twist each one twice. Smear with beaten egg yolk mixed with 2-3 tbsp milk.

Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds. Cover with a towel and leave to rise again for 40 min. Bake in a preheated 360°F (180 °C) oven.
