Chickpeas Pita

Ingredients:

1. 500gm of organic high protein flour
2. 270gm of chickpeas (grounded into fine flour) (I used a food processor)
* Not everything will be grounded into fine flour. I am fine with that as it will give the pitas a crunchy texture.
3. 1 teaspoon of sea-salt
4. 3 stalks of spring onions (scallions) (finely chopped)
5. 1 big onion (chopped finely)
6. Dry yeast (1 tablespoon)
7. 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
8. 1 cup of warm water

--------------------------------------------

1. In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar and dry yeast. Stir and leave aside for about 15 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, grounded chickpeas, sea-salt, spring onions, big onion and the yeast concoction. Knead into a smooth dough. (*Add more water if not enough. And if too mushy, add more flour.)

3. Place aside and cover the bowl with a cling film for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.

4. Knock the dough back down and split the dough into golf-ball sizes.

5. Flatten the dough into round, flat pieces.

6. Preheat oven at 240C.

7. Place the flattened pieces of dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

8. Bake for about 15 minutes.

9. Serve when it is warm.

Bon appétit!

  2. The taste is different from falafels. But they are both as nice. You can eat falafels right? They are chickpeas.
