Writer's picture: Alex Alex
Hello everyone, today we will make a Lebanese specialty

Preparation time: 30 minutes Resting time: 1h40

Cooking time: 6 minutes For 4 people


Ingredients:

For the pita breads:

- 200g flour

- 7g of baker's yeast

- 10cl of warm water

- 7g of sugar

- 1 teaspoon of fine salt

- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

For the hummus:

- 200g cooked chickpeas

- 1 small green chilli

- 2 cloves of garlic

- 1/4 bunch of flat parsley

- 1 lemon

- A few pine nuts

- 8cl of tahini sauce

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

- Fine salt


Preparation:

  1. For the pita breads: pour the warm water, the baking powder with sugar into a bowl and let stand for 10 minutes. In a second bowl, mix by hand the flour, the fine salt and the baking powder-sugar mixture. Knead well, form a ball, oil it and let it rest for 1h30 in a warm place, or in the oven at 80°C for the same time.

  2. Knead the dough again to expel the air inside. Form a ball and cut it into 4 pieces. Roll them out with a rolling pin and place them in a pan. Cook the breads for 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat, they will blister and turn slightly brown.

  3. Seed and chop the green chili pepper. Peel and chop the garlic and the washed flat-leaf parsley. Squeeze the lemon. Toast the pine nuts for a few minutes at 180°C in the oven until golden. Rinse the chickpeas in cold water, then drain them.

  4. Put the chickpeas in the blender, start blending, then add the garlic, chilli, fine salt, tahini sauce and lemon juice

  5. Pour into a serving dish, form a wave with a spoon, pour the olive oil inside, sprinkle with fleur de sel and chopped parsley. Add the roasted pine nuts. Enjoy with the pita breads!

Here's a photo of how it turned out (without the pine nuts):

I hope you enjoyed it!!!

See you!
