Instructions
-
We start with making the homemade pita.
-
In a bowl, mix flour with dried yeast, salt, cane sugar and dried rosemary. Add lukewarm water to the dry mixture and make a smooth and pliable dough. If it's too thick, add more water. Leave the finished dough to sit for at least an hour in a wam spot.
-
Knead the risen dough and make it into a ball, then cut that into six pieces. Dust each piece of the dough with a bit of flour and then roll it flat with a rolling pin. Prepare your pan and heat it without oil. Fry the pitas on both sides. Brush the finished pitas with a mix of olive oil, lovage and dried garlic.
-
Once the pitas are ready, we can move on to the Turkish eggs.
-
First, let's make poached eggs. Heat up water with a little bit of vinegar, but make sure it doesn't boil. Using a spoon, create a swirl motion in the water and then drop in the egg. Cook it for 3 minutes or so, and then take the eggs out carefully.
-
Mix the Greek yoghurt with lemon juice, salt, pepper and dried garlic. Spread it onto a bowl or plate and put the poached eggs on top.
-
Melt some ghee and add some paprika. Then pour that mixture over the eggs.
-
Serve the Turkish eggs with warm homemade or Vilgain pita bread. Enjoy!
