Ingredients

For the pita

500 g bread flour

11 g active dry yeast

20 g salt

10 g granulated sugar

290 ml lukewarm water

¼ cup chopped rosemary (optional)

For the Herb & garlic topping

¼ cup olive oil

1 garlic clove (minced)

2 tbsp. fresh parsley chopped

For the dip

2 tbsp. Turkish/Greek yogurt

1 garlic clove minced

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 tbsp. lemon juice

Salt & pepper

30 g butter

½ tbsp. paprika

2 eggs, poached

¼ tbsp. Aleppo pepper

Dill

Directions

Step 1

Make the pita

Step 2

In a large bowl combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt and mix well.

Step 3

Add the water and knead lightly for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add rosemary and knead for another 5 minutes or until you get a smooth dough.

Step 5

Place the dough in a clean big bowl and cover with a plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Proof for 1-2 hours or until the dough doubles its size.

Step 6

Divide the dough into balls. Each ball should weigh approximately 100 g. Then, using a floured rolling pin, roll the pieces into a circle that's about 0.2 inch thick.

Step 7

Place the pitas on a kitchen towel and then cover it with another kitchen towel. Space out the pitas so they have room to grow.

Step 8

Let proof for 40-50 minutes.

Step 9

While proofing, mix together the herbs, garlic and olive oil and set aside.

Step 10

Preheat a non-stick pan over high medium heat.

Step 11

Once the pitas are proofed and the pan is warm enough, place one pita on the pan (without oil or butter) and flip it over every 20-30 seconds, until your pita is ready. Just before taking it out of the pan, brush it lightly with the olive oil-herb mixture.

Step 12

Make the yogurt

Step 13

In a medium nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium-high, add paprika, aleppo pepper, salt and pepper, mix and set aside.

Step 14

In a small bowl mix garlic, greek yogurt, lime zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper and mix.

Step 15

At this time start making the poached eggs.

Step 16

Place the yogurt in a plate, then place the eggs and season with black pepper.

Step 17

Drizzle over the spicy butter and finish with dill.

Step 18

Dip the pita in the yogurt and enjoy!
