While growing up in Lebanon, Dmitra helped her mother make 150 pita rounds per week for the family, carrying the dough to an aunt&#39;s house for baking - the only oven in the village! This dough takes time to rise but only 8-10 minutes to bake. High oven heat causes the rounds to steam and puff up, creating a perfect pocket for fillings. You can also use the dough for flat-bread pizzas or Lebanese spinach pies. Or serve with Dima&#39;s vibrant and delicious Middle Eastern <a href="/videos/international/tabbouleh">tabbouleh</a>.</p>

    "Dima" you make this look so easy that I am actually going to make some to share with my family. You give such detailed directions that will help when I am making these on my own. I am sure they will taste delicious with the tabbouleh and of course the hummus I so enjoy. Thanks for the wonderful videos!
