35. Recipe: Pita Bread 2
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup semolina (sameed)
1 tea spoon yeast (best to use Red Star quick Rise brand)
1 1/2 tea spoon baking powder
Mix all the ingredients and let them sit for 5-6 hours.
Now is the tricky part. You need a flat evenly heated surface to pour on it
the atayef. You could use those "grills" that are used for bacons, omelelets,
etc.. Any way, just pour a little of the mixture on the surface. When the
surface of the mixture is dry, it is ready to take it off. You only cook one
side, so do not flip it over.
Then you can simply stuff the atayef with sweetened cheese (put it in a pot
under a running tap for few hours, let the tap run like a fine line). Or you
can use a mixture of walnuts, sugar and cinnamon for stuffing. Close the
atayef, put them in a pan and put a little bit of butter on top of each atayef.
Cook until they are light brown. Prepare the sugar syrup (qatir) and drop the
cooked (still hot) atayef in the qatir.
Sahtain.
