Fantastic video-- I really appreciate that you took the time to properly break down the prep steps and give alternate methods; sooo many people don't do that. Loads of "for beginner" recipes assume that the viewer has both all the same appliances/tools and also a significant knowledge base, and soooo many beginner cooks don't have any of that!! So big thanks for breaking it down properly. 😊❤️

I remember making pita bread from scratch 20 plus years ago. It was from the Julia Child's cookbook and it was wild. Never before have I cooked bread for 15 seconds at 500 degrees! Unfortunately my old oven didn't survive the recipe, but dang it was good bread. My kitchen was covered in cooling pita, because I was swapping out the bread so often that I didn't know what to do with the cooked pieces.

I finally made these after having the recipes for ages. They really are delicious and very easy to make as long as you have a food processor - and decent pitas. I tried using store bought bread, but they just weren’t easy to work with. It’s much better if you make your own, but I’m not going to do that on a weeknight. Thanks for a great recipe. I’ve also made this vegetarian by using either beyond beef or textured vegetable protein crumbles. They were quite good, but the family consensus was the original ground beef version is the best.

I'd really recommend mortar and pestle for things like garlic. It's fun to use, allows you to start buying your spices as whole and I swear there's just something to the stuff you mince in mortar. And I believe it also fits well with traditional recipes. It's also not a big investment. I don't know about other places, but even in high work cost Finland you can get one for less than 15€ made from local stone (a bit more than a fastfood meal or a pizza). Internet also taught me to make pita bread and it's so good, but easy and quick to make. Totally worth it to make yourself.

I'm not exactly a seasoned cook yet but this is one of the best things I've ever made, just delicious; my girlfriend thought the same. I did think that the 1/2 tsp baharat in the recipe seemed a bit small so I upped to this to 1 tsp, maybe closer to 2 tsp (I saw another recipe that used 1 Tbsp!). Anyone else making this, don't underestimate the prep time! It seemed to take forever to open and stuff the pittas, especially since they were so prone to tearing - I had to be super careful. It also took longer than 4 minutes/side to cook, although since it was tricky to get them all a consistent thickness this was variable.

Really enjoyed this Obi. I've done it twice now with 20% fat Lamb and 5% fat beef. IMO the lean beef was best as the lamb was a bit too greasy. I prefer the Lebanese bread as the arayes turn out lighter. I have used a bit more pomegranate molasses and cayenne than suggested but each to his own. As you say - it is quick and easy and delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us and for your enthusiasm and practical tips.

I've bought baharat seasoning from a regular supermarket before but you could also make your own.

If not, there are a few online stores you can get it from but they tend to charge more.

A Lebanese lady from Denver, CO. shared her recipe in the Denver Post, Mom made the recipe and so COOL watching the Pita rise, just like a Corn tortilla! Definitely making these, parsley, there is parsley sold here, but thinking could we also sub with cilantro (fresh coriander)? As for achieving the fresh made garlic paste, learned a new way to make this, but easier how my mom used to make the garlic, she would ground the garlic clove with a little rock salt in her molcajete(stone and pestle), this is the way we process garlic for making a spicy hot salsa.

Hi, it will 100% cook through in that time. The bread is very very thin and it will transfer the heat into the mince. You can always cook this longer, but the bread will likely burn. Cooked mince won't give the same effect, as the key is for the bread to absorb the meat juices as it cooks. If you are worried you can bake this in the oven, or use a meat thermometer to check that it reaches a safe temperature
