    -- RECIPE --
    PITA
    ▪265g or 1c + 1Tbsp warm water (86F/30C)
    ▪50g or 1/4c olive oil
    ▪8g or 2tsp instant yeast
    ▪15g or 1 1/4Tbsp sugar
    ▪450g or 3 3/4c bread flour
    ▪10g oro 2t salt
    Add ingredients to stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Mix on low for 2 mins or until dough comes together. Increase speed to high and continue mixing for about 4 minutes, careful not to overdevelop the dough. When the dough looks more smooth and passes the tug test (no tearing when you tug a piece) it’s ready.
    Separate dough into 6 even (130ish gram) pieces, shaping and rounding each into a ball as shown in video @1:02. Transfer all shaped dough balls to a lightly oiled sheet tray and wrap tightly. Refrigerate to cold ferment for 4 to 24 hours.
    To roll out pitas, lightly flour work surface and dough ball then press with your hand to spread into a 4”/10cm circle. Use a rolling pin roll out until dough is about ⅛”/3mm thick and about 9”/23cm in diameter, making sure to keep work surface and dough well dusted while rolling.
    Brush off excess flour, then load dough onto a pizza peel then onto a 425F/220C preheated pizza steel/stone to bake for 3-4 minutes, flipping over halfway through. Roll out the next pita while pita 1 is baking. Place in a towel lined bowl or basket and cover with a towel to keep baked pitas warm while you finish the rest.

    HUMMUS
    ▪1lb/450g dry garbanzo beans
    ▪2Qt/kg water
    ▪8g or 1 2/3tsp baking soda
    ▪300g or 1 1/3c tahini
    ▪20g or 1.5Tbsp salt
    ▪60g or 1/4c lemon juice
    ▪4-5g or 1tsp citric acid
    ▪50g or 1/4c extra virgin olive oil
    ▪90-125g ice cubes (5-9 cubes)
    *if you prefer garlic in your hummus, I rec just a tiny amount. 3g or the smallest clove you can find. For me, it wasn't needed in this recipe.
    Add the beans to a tall container, add 2qt water, stir, and allow to soak overnight. They should have nearly doubled in size.
    Add soaked beans and water into a pressure cooker along with baking soda. Cook under high pressure for 90 minutes then allow pressure to release for 20 minutes. Beans should be soft but not disintegrated. Drain off as much cooking liquid as possible then transfer beans to a food processor along with tahini, salt, lemon juice, and citric acid. Process for 3 minutes then stream in olive oil while still spinning. Then add in ice cubes one at a time until hummus reaches desired texture/consistency.
    Taste for seasoning and add extra lemon juice, salt, and/or olive oil if needed. Spin for a few seconds to combine.
    Serve with olive oil, a sprinkle of sumac, and flaky salt.

      @@BrianLagerstrom she said she doesn't use citric acid in hummus, but it makes sense why you could use it so you don't end up with liquidy hummus. She uses citric acid in her toum recipe though. She also said it looked really good and all the ingredients "is good but depend on taste" LOL. Finally, she said the pita looks delicious and appeared airy/thin, which is what we typically eat. We both find that a lot of pita bread recipes tend to be thick and heavy like a gyros pita, but for us, Lebanese pita is typically thin, light, and airy.

  • @jackazadian9558
    @jackazadian9558 Год назад +41

    My favorite hummus is from a restaurant back home in Lebanon, and they use a secret ingredient. I later found out that ingredient is Labneh, or Greek yogurt if you can't find it. A couple of tablespoons of that stuff gives your hummus a lighter and creamier texture, and makes the color lighter as well which gives it a more appetizing look, without altering the taste! Been using Labneh in all my hummuses ever since.
    In my experience, the two main ingredients that can be adjusted to liking in hummus are lemon and tahini. If you want a zestier hummus, you up the lemon. If you want a creamier and richer hummus, you up the tahini. I personally prefer a higher tahini content to lemon. Tahini also helps to make the hummus less runny, but it will alter the taste. That's why I love using Labneh in the recipe, because you can offset the richness of the tahini with it.

    As an Arab I approve your hummus.
    I recommend anyone make fatteh with any left over hummus, here's a recipe if you're interested:
    First you boil some chickpeas or get a can, they should be al dente not mushy. Then you toast, fry or just dry some stale bread, pita or any bread works. Last thing you make a sauce by thining out your hummus with some water and add lemon, salt, cumin, pepper and olive oil (flavor it as you like). If you don't have enough hummus add yogurt for substance, the sauce shouldn't be super runny.
    For the presentation put the bread in a layer topped with the chickpeas and pour the sauce on top. Don't mix it just let the sauce naturally absorb. Garnish with nuts (pinenuts, almonds) and greens (parsley, mint) and spices (chilli flakes, sumac, cumin, paprika) you can even add ground meat or some vegetables, be creative.
    This recipe could be a quick simple meal or a fancy side dish.

    @denniskirschbaum9109 Год назад +1

    So, Brian, great channel. The pitas look fantastic. Here is something to try. In the food processor first emulsify the tahini and the lemon juice. I use the juice of two lemons about 100 ml for 250 grams of tahini. Add a bit of ice water as necessary until the mixture is not solid but a bit runny. THEN add the chickpeas (250 grams dry chickpeas that have been cooked as you suggest). Process adding more ice water as needed. This will result in a very light product that is plenty acidic. No citric acid or olive oil needed. Those are not traditional ingredients in the middle east anyway. Olive oil is drizzled on the final product. I like garlic in mine. I crush 12 grams (about two cloves) into the lemon juice and let it sit for 10 min before adding to the tahini. This really mellows the garlic adding a very subtle flavor.

    Bravo Brian. I started using citric acid in my hummus before I saw it in any recipe because I kept wanting a tart bite, but when I added more lemon, it turned too "lemoney". It really makes a difference. Small differences between you and me: I usually only go 1 hr on stovetop (no pressure) for my rehydrated bean cook and I have a well-cooked bean. 90 minutes in pressure seems like just way too much. I really like a touch of cumin in my humus. Also, I save some of the drained bean juice to get the right consistency at the end, rather than just plain ice. I also like to save about 1/8th cup of cooked beans for garnish. But overall, great recipe.

      Is your pressure cooker an Instant pot too? If so, you use high (or low?) pressure for your 40 minute cooking time (I gotta say - if you soaked them overnight, even 40 minutes seems unnecessarily long in a pressure cooker?)?

I always use whole garlic cloves in the cooking water to help soften the skin of any dried bean and hasten the cooking. (Also I never add salt early in the cooking process as it delays the skin softening). For hummus I use a pinch of cumin and only use the citric acid if I don’t have fresh lemon juice. I will sometimes use fresh lime juice as i did when living in the Caribbean and lemons were not readily available. Nice flavor. Also may put in a tiny sliver of habanero pepper, again Caribbean influence. I learned the ice cube method years ago- the hummus magically becomes silken.

    I kinda miss the hand versions of doughs for the breads but I'm guessing it's basically the same procedure as the other videos! Really cool tips and tricks in this one, particularly the baking soda. Never heard of that one! Maybe in the future I'd love to see your version of naan for the home cook

    Hey Bri, another great video as always, your videos have taken my cooking enjoyment to another level, and also hit my bank balance buying new kitchen goodies 🤣 can you cook the garbanzo's without the pressure cooker? Guessing it would be possible but just increase the duration? Keep up the good work 💯

    I will have to give a couple of your modifications a try. I like that texture to, for fresh hummus, but find going a little thinner helps keep it from overly thickening in the fridge.
    Also, never made my own Pitas before. I will need to do that.

    Lots of interesting stuff in there I've never done before. The one major difference is that I don't use water to thin out the hummus - I use the aqua faba (the bean water). It acts a lot like egg whites, and when I make hummus with it, I much prefer the texture it gives.

    • @anti-ethniccleansing465

    I love making hummus at home. This is the first recipe I have seen that didn't include a clove or two of garlic, which is interesting. I would be interested in seeing the amount of canned beans to replace the dried in the recipe, since planning ahead enough to use dried isn't in my wheelhouse. Looking forward to trying your recipe!

      You can do a quick soak where you bring the beans to a boil and then turn off the heat. Let sit for one hour. Drain the beans and add fresh water, salt and baking soda. Bring to a boil then simmer for about 30 minutes, until beans are soft.

      What I’m utterly shocked about is that it took 90 minutes plus 20 mins natural release for him to cook his chickpeas in an instant pot, and that was even after soaking them overnight! I thought cooking beans in an instant pot was supposed to _MASSIVELY_ cut down their cooking time! I’m so confused.
      Any idea if you can cut down the cooking time even more combining your quick soak method and an instant pot?

    Great recipe and idea with pita-combo video!
    Trick I learned from my Mediterranean neighbors: Try blending the Tahini and lemon juice alone prior to adding all other ingredients - for extra smooth and airy, creamy texture.
    Also, a drop of cumin goes a long way...

      Hmmm, are you 100% positive about that? How do you know? I’ve looked them up online (btw, it’s amazing how expensive they are at some places!!!). Ziyad’s label on both the dried version and the canned version of chickpeas doesn’t say anything about the beans being de-hulled. The only possibility is that the _ONE_ word that’s written in Arabic instead of English on the label is the word “de-hulled??” Do you know?
      P.S. I don’t think these are organic chickpeas, because it doesn’t say organic anywhere either. 😢 I wonder if it’s possible to get organic de-hulled chickpeas somewhere.

    Hey Brian. Great video, and one of my favourite food combos. I can't wait to try this!
    Apologies if I missed it, but what's the thinking behind adding the citric acid crystals if you're going to be adding water (ice) later anyway? Why not just use a bit more lemon juice and a bit less ice instead? Thanks!

    Hi Brian, great video but a few tips (I'm from Israel)
    Recommended to use cumin, half a tea spoon for 500g of Hummus...so is "Hawaij for soup" (not the regular Hawaij).
    You can put less cumin if its too strong for you.
    Last thing its highly recommended to use the liquid of the Hummus after its cooking instead of other liquids...one cup of the liquid and less oil and water.

    Yes, I always add roasted garlic, plus sumac and cumin. I don't understand the addition of citric acid since there is lemon juice in the hummus. My favorite additions into the blender are a cup of well-packed baby spinach, or 1/2 cup baby spinach and 1/2 cup fresh basil.

    I was always taught 3-2-1. To a can of chickpeas add 3 tbsp tahini, 2 lemon juice, 1 olive oil, then up to a 1/4c of water to get the right thickness. Yes to garlic, a couple cloves. I think I did cumin and salt to season. It's been a bit

    It always cracks me up when you taste random ingredients like the baking soda. Lorne was a good sport. When I was a teenage vegetarian in the 80’s you couldn’t buy hummus in stores yet, and the tahini at the coop always tasted rancid to me. I made so much hummus starting with sesame seeds. Bad hummus made with a lot of garlic and canned chickpeas is sort of nostalgic to me, lol. This looks great. I like the ice cube trick.
