Ingredients
4 people
- 4 pcPita bread (whole)
- 4 tbspExtra virgin olive oil
- 1 pcGarlic (finely minced)
- 1 pinchThyme
- 1 pinchGray sea salt
- 1 tbspZa'atar
Method
Bread that cracks under the teeth with sharp grill marks while maintaining a soft heart. Hot olive oil infuses the crumb, releasing garlic and thyme aromas from the very first bite.
- 1
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, finely chopped garlic, thyme, salt, and zaatar. The oil should become slightly cloudy as the aromatics infuse.
- 2
Using a brush, generously apply the mixture to both sides of each pita bread. The crumb should absorb the oil without being soggy.
- 3
Heat a grill pan over high heat. Place the breads. When brown grill marks appear and the bread puffs slightly, flip. The crust should be crispy to the touch.
