PERFECT PITA CHIPS
I searched for months for a recipe that tastes the same if not better than the store-bought pita chips. After many attempts, I found what everyone seems to think are perfect pita chips! They take barely any time to prepare and go great with spinach artichoke dip! Add Italian seasoning, herbs, or Parmesan cheese for a twist!

Steps:
- Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a mixing bowl and allow to stand until the yeast forms a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 cups of flour, salt, and shortening; beat for 2 minutes with a fork. Stir in as much of the remaining 1 1/2 cup flour as needed.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, kneading in more flour if dough is sticky. Form into a ball, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest in a warm area for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Divide dough into 12 equal portions; flour your hands and roll each piece into a ball. Cover dough balls with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Flatten the balls into rounds on a floured surface, cover with kitchen towel, and let rest 10 more minutes. Gently roll each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter on a floured surface. Place pita breads in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven until the pita breads puff up, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip breads over with a spatula, return to oven, and bake 2 more minutes. Let cool on wire racks before cutting pita breads in half and gently separating tops and bottoms to form pockets for filling.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pita parcels. Choose ripe vegetables, herbs, and spices. For the best results, use a good quality pita bread.
- Don't overfill the pita pockets: If you overload the pita pockets, they will be difficult to close and may burst open during cooking. Fill them just enough so that they are full, but not bulging.
- Cook the pita parcels in a preheated oven: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy. If you are using a griddle or skillet, make sure it is hot before you add the pita parcels.
- Serve the pita parcels warm: They are best enjoyed immediately after baking or cooking. You can also reheat them in the oven or microwave, but they will not be as crispy as when they are first made.
- Experiment with different fillings: The possibilities are endless! Try different combinations of vegetables, meats, cheeses, and sauces to find your favorite pita parcels.
Conclusion:
Pita parcels are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste. With so many different fillings to choose from, you are sure to find a pita parcel recipe that you love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give pita parcels a try. You won't be disappointed!
