Instructions

1. Dough:
2. Mix flour, salt, oil and water well until you get an elastic, not too soft and sticky dough. Knead for a good 10 minutes! Cover the dough ball well and let it rest for 30-45 minutes.
3. Filling:
4. Mix all ingredients well, the mixture must not be too firm or too soft.
5. Divide the dough ball into 2-3 balls, flatten it with a rolling pin and brush with the oil. On a floured work surface, preferably on a clean tablecloth, thin out the dough so that you can read the newspaper through it. Sprinkle the dough with a little oil.
6. Apply the filling at one end, fold it in and do not roll it up too tightly so that you can barely see the filling. Cut off the filled strand with a knife and carefully pull it lengthways with oiled hands. Cut the strand into 2-3 even parts, shape into snails and place in an oiled baking sheet.
7. Proceed in this way until there is no more batter or filling left.
8. Bake the pita at 220 °. After baking, sprinkle with a little water (the more, the softer the pita will be), cover with a cloth or baking sheet and let rest for 5 minutes.
9. Serve with a seasonal salad and crème fraîche; an ayran or natural yogurt goes well with it.
10. Tip:
11. The pita can be frozen in portions and warmed up in the oven without defrosting.
12. Of course you can fill the pita vegetarian like e.g. cheese, spinach, fine potato cubes
13. There are no limits to taste and imagination!
