How to make Homemade Pita Bread and Hummus without Tahini
Hummus
Blend chickpeas, 2 tbsp olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and some reserved water to maintain consistency.
Dish out the hummus, pour remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over it, and sprinkle some chili powder.
Pita Bread
Sift flour, yeast, salt, and sugar together.
Add oil and mix well.
Knead by adding lukewarm water to form a dough.
Cover and place in a warm place for 30 to 35 minutes.
Knead well and divide the dough into eight equal parts, forming small balls.
Flatten each ball into thick circles.
Heat a pan and cook each pita on low heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Tips & Tricks
Use reserved chickpea water to adjust the consistency of the hummus.
Ensure the dough is well-kneaded for soft pita bread.
