CHEESY PITA CRISPS

I first made these golden wedges when my college roommates and I wanted garlic bread but only had pitas on hand. My husband likes this "skinny" version even better than the original! -Christine Mattiko of Dallastown, Pennsylvania

GRILLED PITA

Common throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean, pita is traditionally baked at high temperatures in a tandoor (clay) oven. The versatile staple is served with kebabs, falafel, souvlaki, hummus, baba ganoush and many other preparations. It's popular in America, too, but our store-bought pita generally leaves a lot to be desired. (For starters, by the time we get it, it's often several days old.) The good news is that pita is easy to make at home and the soft, tender and fragrant result is well worth it. Although you can bake it in a regular oven, we use a grill to replicate a bit of that smoky tandoor flavor. Cooking the dough on a griddle rather than directly on the grill grates means there's less chance of sticking, making the bread easier to flip.

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour and the yeast, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add the water and mix using a rubber spatula until the dough comes together. The dough should be a little sticky, but soft and able to hold its shape. Add up to 1/2 cup more flour, if needed. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until it's soft, smooth and elastic, 5 to 7 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer and knead until the dough becomes soft and elastic, about 5 minutes. The dough might be just a little sticky and that's okay.
  • Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Place in a draft-free area, such as a turned-off oven, until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
  • Gently deflate the dough by pressing it down with your hands. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and gently flatten. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a cast-iron griddle on an outdoor grill and heat it to medium high (450 degrees F) with the lid closed. Alternatively, you can use a large cast-iron skillet.
  • Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out 1 piece of dough into a round about 1/4-inch thick, flipping the dough a few times to prevent it from sticking. Meanwhile, keep the remaining pieces of dough covered with a kitchen towel. Transfer the rolled-out pitas to a baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking the rounds with a flour-dusted piece of parchment or wax paper between each round to prevent them from sticking.
  • Brush the griddle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle a little water on a rolled-out pita and place it on the griddle. You can cook 2 pitas at a time on a grill pan and 1 pita at a time on a cast-iron skillet. Close the grill and cook until there are small light brown spots on the pita, about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Some of the pitas will puff up as they cook. Transfer to a platter and cover with a clean towel to prevent them from drying out. Repeat with the remaining rolled-out pitas. (It shouldn't be necessary to re-oil the griddle if it is well-seasoned.) Serve warm.

2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water, plus more for sprinkling
Olive oil, for brushing

PITAQUILES (CRISPED PITA STRIPS IN TOMATO SAUCE)

Chilaquiles, that hangover dish of old tortillas crisped and doused in a tangy sauce gets a Middle Eastern makeover in this saucy tomato and hot pepper dish made with stale pita bread.

Pitaquiles (Crisped Pita Strips in Tomato Sauce) image

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Stack the pitas and, using a sharp or serrated knife, slice them in half through the middle, then slice the halves into 1/2-inch-thick strips crosswise. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil and the za'atar and add salt and black pepper to taste. Add the pita strips and toss to coat. Arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  • Place the tomatoes, onion wedges, garlic, and jalapeño on a large rimmed baking sheet, toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Roast until the garlic cloves are softened and golden but not burned and some of the tomatoes have burst, 15 to 20 minutes. During the last 6 to 7 minutes of roasting the tomatoes, add the baking sheet with the pita strips to the oven and toast, stirring once midway. Remove both from the oven and cool slightly.
  • Place the cooled tomato mixture in a blender and add the lemon juice. Blend until smooth and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Place the sauce in a 10-inch skillet and warm over medium heat until bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Drop in the pita strips and shake the skillet. Warm the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • While the mixture is warming, cook the eggs sunny-side-up in a separate pan. Add the eggs to the skillet with the tomato sauce and pita and top with the feta and dabs of labaneh. Garnish with the cilantro and jalapeño rounds.

3 pitas (do not split into 2 rounds each)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Za'atar Spice Blend, plus more for sprinkling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cups (1 1/2 pounds) yellow or orange cherry tomatoes
1 medium onion, sliced into thin wedges
5 garlic cloves
1 large whole jalapeño, plus more thinly sliced, for garnish
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
4 large eggs
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup labaneh or Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for serving

  • Sautee the Spinach. In a grill pan, heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the spinach and cook for a couple of minutes, tossing, until wilted. Transfer the spinach to a plate for now and turn the heat off.
  • Assemble the sandwiches. Open up the pita pockets (it helps to warm the pita so they don’t break when you open them). Spread the feta on the bottom followed by basil pesto. Spoon a bit of the wilted spinach on top. Add the mozzarella and sundried tomatoes.
  • Grill the pitas. Heat the grill pan again over medium-high. Brush the pitas with extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Arrange the pita sandwiches in the heated pan, making sure they are all touching the hot pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or so on one side, applying pressure on the top part of the sandwich with the back of a spatula, turn over and cook for another couple minutes, applying pressure again with your spatula, until the cheese is melted and the bread gains some beautiful char marks. Manage the heat to make sure the bread is well-crisped but not burned and the mozzarella is melted (you may need to cover the pan very briefly).
