Pitta breads are the most fun things to make as you see them burst to life in front of you. They are easy to prepare and excellent accompaniment with most meals.
To begin, fire up your Amigo oven to maximum temperature (approx 550c) and let the oven temperature drop to approx 300c. Cook the pittas on the base of the oven, fire to the left, door open like you would a pizza. They take seconds to cook. We turn them to cook the pittas evenly.
Once the pittas were cooked, we used the residual heat to cook tasty dishes like kofte kebab which is a great partner with pitta bread and some tzatziki.
