Pitta Dough (This is a Thermomix recipe)

1. Place dried yeast, water and sugar in mixing bowl and warm 30 sec/37C/speed 2

2. Add olive oil, bread flour and salt and knead 3 min. Transfer dough to a bowl, cover with cling film and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approx 1 hour). Divide dough into 7-8 pieces, form each into a ball and allow to rest for 15 minutes. With a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a flat circle (approx l5cm) and allow to rest for a further 15 minutes

3. Meanwhile, preheat oven and baking tray to 25OC

4. Place 2-4 dough circles on preheated baking tray and bake for 4-5 minutes (25OC) until puffed up or pale golden.  Repeat with remaining dough. Transfer  hot  pitta breads to  a plate and cover immediately with a dry tea towel to keep them soft. Allow to cool before serving

​

Filling

1. While the dough is proving, start preparing the meat and salad

2. Soak wooden skewers in water

3. Cut up salads and prepare coleslaw

4. Cut meat into generous cubes. Toss in a drizzle of olive oil and herbs and spices. Thread onto skewers. The dough should have doubled in size

5. Heat up the BBQ. (We used restaurant grade charcoal)

6. Charcoal should now be ready to go. Prepare the BBQ and cook the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes turning them frequently until well cooked

7. When the kebabs are nearly cooked, bake the pittas

8. Slice the pittas, fill with the meat, salad and burger sauce. Enjoy!
