Ramadan has already started and what is needed? Of course, pita bread. Homemade always tastes the best.

Pita bread is available in different versions depending on the region and consists of lightly salted yeast dough.

Its remarkable diamond pattern is pressed in with fingers. There is also a mixture of sesame and black cumin that is sprinkled on the pita but it’s up to you. You may want to refine the recipe with olives or dried tomatoes – any ideas are welcome.
