INGREDIENTE (pentru 6 bucati)

• 170 ml apa
• 10 grame drojdie uscata
• ½ lingurita zahar
• 500 grame faina plus extra pentru intins
• 180 grame iaurt grecesc
• 20 grame ulei de masline
• 1½ lingurita sare

Incepem prin a incalzi apa usor — trebuie sa fie calduta la atingere, nu fierbinte, aproximativ 37°C. Dizolvam drojdia proaspata si zaharul in apa calduta si lasam amestecul sa stea 5-10 minute, pana incepe sa faca spuma — acesta este semnul ca drojdia este activa si gata de lucru.

Intr-un bol mare, cernem faina si facem o adancitura la mijloc. Turnam amestecul de drojdie, iaurtul, uleiul de masline si sarea. Framantam energic cu mainile timp de aproximativ 8-10 minute, pana obtinem un aluat neted, elastic si usor lipicios. Daca aluatul este prea lipicios, mai adaugam putina faina, dar nu prea multa — umezeala din iaurt este secretul texturii perfecte.

Formam o bila din aluat, o asezam intr-un bol uns cu ulei de masline si o acoperim cu un prosop curat sau folie alimentara. Lasam la dospit intr-un loc cald timp de aproximativ o ora, pana isi dubleaza volumul.

Preincalzim cuptorul la 220°C — temperatura inalta este esentiala pentru ca panini pita sa se umfle frumos si sa capete acea textura pufoasa caracteristica. Tapetam doua tavi cu hartie de copt.

Rasturam aluatul dospit pe o suprafata usor infainata si il impartim in 6 portii egale. Formam bile si le aplatizam usor cu palma. Cu ajutorul unui sucitor, intindem fiecare bila. Asezam discurile pe tavile pregatite si le lasam sa se odihneasca inca 20 de minute.

Coacem fiecare tava in partea inferioara a cuptorului la 220°C pentru 10-12 minute, pana cand panini pita se umfla frumos si capata o culoare aurie placuta. Le scoatem din cuptor si le lasam sa se tempereze putin — daca vrem sa le taiem, asteptam cateva minute, daca vrem sa le servim intregi, le acoperim cu un prosop curat pentru a ramane moi si pufoase.

Se servesc calde, umplute dupa preferinta — cu legume proaspete, hummus, carne la gratar, banza sau orice altceva care iti face pofta. Panini pita sunt perfecte pentru orice masa a zilei, chiar si cu smashed mici!

Panini Pita

There is something magical about making bread at home. That smell that spreads through the whole house as the dough rises, the warmth of the oven and the moment you take out the golden, fluffy breads — these are simple things, but they bring a truly special joy. Panini pita with yoghurt is exactly the kind of recipe that makes you want to make it every weekend — simple, quick and with a result that surpasses anything you can buy from the shop. The secret of this recipe lies in the Greek yoghurt, which gives the bread a soft, fluffy and slightly elastic texture — perfect for filling with whatever your heart desires. From fresh vegetables and hummus, to grilled meat or cheese — panini pita is the most versatile bread you can make at home. With just a few simple ingredients and one hour of proving, you get 6 perfect panini pita, golden and fluffy, ready to be filled and enjoyed. Once you try them made at home, you will never want anything else!

INGREDIENTS (for 6 pieces)

For the dough:

• 170 ml water
• 10 grams dried yeast
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• 500 grams flour plus extra for rolling
• 180 grams Greek yoghurt
• 20 grams olive oil
• 1½ teaspoons salt

We start by warming the water gently — it should be warm to the touch, not hot, approximately 37°C. Dissolve the dried yeast and sugar in the warm water and leave the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes, until it starts to foam — this is the sign that the yeast is active and ready to work.

In a large bowl, sift the flour and make a well in the centre. Pour in the yeast mixture, yoghurt, olive oil and salt. Knead energetically with your hands for approximately 8-10 minutes, until you get a smooth, elastic and slightly sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but not too much — the moisture from the yoghurt is the secret to the perfect texture.

Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl greased with olive oil and cover with a clean kitchen towel or cling film. Leave to prove in a warm place for approximately one hour, until it doubles in volume.

Preheat the oven to 220°C — the high temperature is essential for the panini pita to puff up beautifully and develop that characteristic fluffy texture. Line two baking trays with baking paper.

Turn the proved dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape into balls and flatten gently with your palm. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball. Place the discs on the prepared trays and leave to rest for another 20 minutes.

Bake each tray in the lower part of the oven at 220°C for 10-12 minutes, until the panini pita puff up beautifully and take on a pleasant golden colour. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly — if you want to cut them, wait a few minutes; if you want to serve them whole, cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and fluffy.

Serve warm, filled as preferred — with fresh vegetables, hummus, grilled meat, cheese or anything else you fancy. Panini pita are perfect for any meal of the day!
