"Turkish" Pita Bread
The Pitas used in the mainly Turkish kebab restaurants here in France
are very different to what I was used to in the UK. Whereas in the UK, they were oval and totally flat , here they are circular and spongier, perhaps 2cm (3/4") thick. When used for serving kebabs, they are cut in half and the filling pushed into the middle. I have bought them in "Arab" shops but would like to try making them. Has anyone come across a recipe for something like this TIA Steve |

Same as here, all the kebab shops use that bread in that way. I like it. > Has anyone come across a recipe for something like this I can ask to a friend, a kebar shop owner: he and his wife made a wonderful kebab bread, before expandind and moving to pre-made bread which they buy from a nearby shop. -- Vilco Think pink, drink rose' |

"Turkish" Pita Bread
That is what prompted me to write my entry. Those look like what I have
made that is similar to "UK" pita bread, the thickess is due to the bread inflating. The "walls" of "French" pita bread are much thicker Steve sandi wrote: > > I posted this yesterday. > Is this what you are looking for? > http://www.e-rcps.com/m_e/pita.shtml |

One of the pleasures of going to the Turkish supermarket in Dalston/London was getting pida fresh out of the oven. Just a few pence for a 'loaf'. Haven't ever made any so can't help you with choosing a recipe. > > Arri London wrote: > > > > Might you be looking for 'pida', which is a Turkish flatbread? Try a > > search on that. |

I just discovered a new Falafel place in San Jose, and they have that kind of pita bread. I don't think it's quite that thick, but it is very different from what I'd seen before before.
