Alright, so I took someone else's recipes and Angied the hell out of them to get some pretty good shit.
PITA BREAD:
Mix up
1 cup warm water
2tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp brown sugar
in a big bowl. No need for a mixer, my arm worked just fine.
Add in
1 pkg active dry yeast
2 cups flour
Mix mix mix
Cuss a little as your biceps give out, and mix more.
Add in enough flour to make a thick dough. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Then add up to a cup of warm water to loosen up the dough a bit. Knead on floured workspace for a couple minutes. Grease up another big mixing bowl with olive oil, roll your dough into a ball and put it in the greased bowl, rolling it around just a little to grease it up. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm spot to rise for an hour, or until doubled, which is pretty freaky to see.
After that hour, punch down your dough, then roll out your dough onto floured space again. Cut it up into about 8-10 pieces, depending on your size preference. Shape these pieces into 6-inch circles. Cover with towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. I guess that's why they call it PITA bread.
Heat oven to 500. Bake your little circles 3-4 at a time (I used a broiler pan) for just 5 minutes. As soon as they come out of the over, move them to a plate and cover with a cool, damp towel until the next batch comes out. This is some kind of steam process, I don't know, but it makes them all nice and fresh-like.
And there ya go.
ONWARD--TACO BELL HUMMUS
Thusly named because, seriously, it tastes like Taco Bell.
Into a processor, chunk 1/2 can drained garbanzo beans and 1/2 can drained black beans, about 3tsp garlic powder, 3 tsps cumin, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Knock the shit out of your processor trying to get all this mixed, and add in 1/4 liquid from the garbanzo beans.
Oh, yeah, you should've saved about 1/2 cup of the liquid when you drained the beans.
Anywho, mix until desired consistency, and serve with some of that awesome pita bread. I imagine throwing some cheese up on this shit, and sour cream, and eatin with tortillas would be pretty damn good, too.
Try it, let me know how it works out for ya.
