HOW TO MAKE RAMADAN PITA?

• Add the yeast and granulated sugar to the warm water and mix. After waiting a few minutes, add the vegetable oil and milk.
• After adding the flour and salt, knead until you obtain a smooth dough.
• Once the dough reaches the appropriate consistency, divide it into two.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise at room temperature for about half an hour.
• While the dough is resting, whisk together the yogurt, egg yolks, and vegetable oil for the sauce you will spread on top.
• Line your baking tray with parchment paper and transfer the dough onto it. Grease your hands and shape the dough into a pita with your hands.
• Let your doughs rise on the tray for another 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set the oven to 180 degrees and start preheating. Score the tops of the risen pitas with the tip of a knife to create a diamond pattern.
• Spread the yogurt mixture you prepared over your pitas.
• Finally, sprinkle with sesame or nigella seeds.
• When your pitas have puffed up and turned golden brown, they are ready.
