Ingredients Serving: 3

All purpose flour 2 cups
Active yeast 2 tsp
Warm water 1 cup
Melted butter 1 tbsp
Salt 1 tsp
Sugar 1 tsp
FOR HOMEMADE LABNEH ;
Yoghurt 400 gm
Salt 1/2 tsp
Dried parsley 1 tsp
Zaatar 1 tsp
Olive oil 2 to 3 tbsp

Instructions

Allow the yeast to prove after stirring it in warm water along with the sugar.
After 5 minutes of proofing, add this to the bowl with flour and salt.
Knead a smooth dough by adding in melted butter too.
Cover and allow to double in volume for an hour or so.
Punch it down after an hour and divide into 5 to 6 parts.
Roll each into a round pita and spread a generous layer of labneh on them
Fold like a calzone or a pocket and seal the edges by pinching.
Preheat the oven on 200°.
After 10 minutes of preheating, bake these for 10-12 minutes.
For the homemade labneh, there is already a video by me on how to do it.
To a cheesecloth or a muslin cloth, add the fresh yoghurt and keep that in a strainer which in turn is kept in a bowl.
Keep it in the refrigerator if the weather is hot or at room temperature if it is cold.
Leave that for a day almost 24 hours.
Remove and use it as desired.
Mix it with herbs, olive oil and zaatar.
Or use it as it is just with a little salt.
It tastes yum both the ways.
Serve this warm pitas with labneh for a healthy breakfast or brunch or even a full meal with olives, salad and juice.
