Smeg BBQ Tray Recipe: Stuffed Pita on the Smeg BBQ Tray

These are deceptively easy to make and the recipe is very adaptable. You can stuff the pita with whatever you like. Ive used Spinach and Feta as I had that to use up but you could use a meat mixture or just cheese. Make sure your filling is cold when you come to stuff the dough as otherwise it will be hard to enclose.  This recipe makes 4 large pita but you could make 8 small ones if you wish.

METHOD

1. Add the flour, water salt, oil and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer, and knead for 6-8 minutes or until the dough is elastic and comes together into a ball.
2. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and place in the oven on Dough Proving mode for 40 minutes, or until the dough is nearly doubled in size 
3. While the dough is proving, steam the onion and spinach and garlic  ( or wilt in a frying pan) . Squeeze out excess water and chop.
4. Divide the dough into 4 or 8 portions and form balls.
5. Leave to rest for 10- 15 minutes
6. Place BBQ tray in oven griddle side up and Preheat on BBQ setting 250C for at least 15 minutes. 
7. Add crumbled feta to the spinach mixture and divide into 4 or 8 balls 
8. Press out one of the balls of dough into a circle, and place a ball of filling in the middle. 
9. Pull up the sides of the dough to enclose the filling making sure the seams are secure
10. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough to a 15-18cm ( or 8-9 cm) circle ( This should be just less than 1cm thick ) 
11. Place Pita on hot BBQ tray and cook for 6 minutes, then turn and cook for a further 6 minutes or until golden .
12. Brush with melted butter and serve.
