Egyptian Pita Egyptian Pita

Dubai is all about options & variety. But in this abundance, I’ve struggled to find freshly baked pizza bases. You will find the frozen ones, but I’m not a fan. In the bakery section, what came closest was the flat, Egyptian pita bread. My only worry was if it would stand another round of baking or end up like a crisp tortilla. But how would I know without trying?

Ingredients:

  • Pita bread (pack of 4)

  • Tandoori or Shredded chicken (or leftover tikkas or other meat)

  • Mozzarella cheese

  • Tomato ketchup

  • Sliced onions, capsicum & tomatoes

  • Oregaon, Salt & Pepper to taste

  • Butter

Preparation:

  • Apply butter to both sides of the pita bread. Mayonnaise (plain or garlic) if you can deal with it.

  • Spread tomato ketchup on the base. You can spice it up with some mustard sauce or Tobasco.

  • Top it up with veggies, meat and Mozarella

  • Butter up a pan on medium flame and place the pizza. Cover with a lid, and let it cook for 3-5 mins until the cheese melts.

  • Tip: On your first pizza, check every 2 mins to see that base does not burn

  • Voila!
