Step:

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in order to have a very fluffy dough that somewhat sticks to the hands. In order for it to not stick, coat your hands with olive oil. The dough has to be slightly softer than that of bread. Cover with a towel and leave it to rest for about 1 hour. 

  2. Form little balls out of the dough and roll them out into small pitas with a rolling pin, place them on a clean towel and fry in hot olive oil flipping them with a fork so that they don't get too crispy until they get golden brown and rise. 

  3. Place them on absorbent paper to drain and serve hot with cheese or honey.


Ingredients

  1. 500 gr self rising flour 
  2. 1 egg
  3. 1 tsp salt 
  4. 1 tsp sugar 
  5. lukewarm milk, as much as it takes to make a very soft dough that is rather sticky
  6. 5-6 tbsp olive oil for the end of kneading so that the dough doesn't stick 
  7. cheese or honey to top it
