Homemade pitas with Vegan Chunks, Hotsami

Pita bread is very easy to make at home: Either in the frying pan or, as described here, in the oven.

Preparation

Put the dry yeast, the sugar, the water, the salt, the olive oil and the flour in a bowl and start kneading all the ingredients for 10-12 minutes until you have a firm, elastic, non-sticky dough. We used a food processor with a dough hook for this.
Divide the dough into 8 equal sized pieces and form into balls on a floured work surface.
Now roll out the dough balls into ½ cm thick, round patties and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C, top/bottom heat.
Bake the pitas on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. The dough patties will rise in the middle during baking, creating a cavity naturally. Allow the pitas to cool slightly.
For the dressing, mix the no muh, dip and yogurt alternative together with the kala namak.
Cut the pitas in half and fill them alternately with the vegan chunks, the salad and the dressing.

We have alternatively spread the pitas with No Moo, pizza sauce and sprinkled with dried oregano. So you get small pizza flatbreads; super tasty!
