Ingredients

Main Ingredients (3-4 servings)

  • Dry Yeast 2g
  • Bread Flour 150g
  • Salt 2g
  • Sugar 10g
  • Leafy Greens (to taste)
  • Chicken (to taste)
  • Ground Meat Mix (to taste)

Seasonings

  • [A] Mayonnaise 2 tbsp
  • [A] Ketchup 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
  • [A] Milk 1 tsp
  • [A] Curry Powder 0.5 tsp
  • [A] Ichimi Togarashi (Japanese Chili Powder) (a pinch)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine lukewarm water (approx. 100g), warmed to about body temperature, and dry yeast (2g).
  2. Add bread flour (150g), salt (2g), and sugar (10g). Mix until no dry flour remains.
  3. Once the ingredients start to come together and become crumbly, gather them into a ball in the bowl and knead.
  4. Transfer the dough to a flat surface and knead using the heel of your hand, pressing and stretching the dough until smooth, for about 10 to 15 minutes. The key is to knead until a thin membrane forms when the dough is stretched.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball, place it seam-side down in the bowl, and let it proof in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. After proofing, turn the dough out onto a flat surface and gently press it down to remove the air bubbles.
  7. Divide the de-gassed dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
  8. Lightly dust the dough balls with bread flour and roll them out into circles about 15cm (6 inches) in diameter.
  9. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and place the rolled-out dough into the pan.
  10. Cook until small bubbles start to appear on the surface and the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side.
  11. Continue to cook without touching, and the dough will puff up.
  12. Once puffed, flip again and continue to flip occasionally until the entire pita bread is evenly puffed.
  13. Once puffed all around, it's done. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
  14. Cook the remaining dough portions in the same way. A good indicator for flipping is when small bubbles begin to form on the surface.
  15. Once cooled, cut the cooked pita bread in half to create a pocket.
  16. If the pocket doesn't open easily, you can carefully make a cut with kitchen scissors.
  17. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise (2 tbsp), ketchup (1.5 tbsp), grated garlic (1 tsp), milk (1 tsp), curry powder (0.5 tsp), and ichimi togarashi (a pinch) to make the kebab-style sauce.
  18. Prepare your favorite leafy greens (like lettuce or cabbage), chicken (e.g., steamed chicken), and ground meat mix (e.g., pre-made frozen hamburger patties).
  19. Stuff the pita bread pockets with the kebab-style sauce and your prepared fillings to complete the dish. For a fun serving style, arrange the fillings on the table and let everyone assemble their own, or stuff them just before eating.
