Greek Pita Bread | Akis Petretzikis 

Your pita breads were the very first bread product I ever made. Aside from the easy recipe, the fact that no oven was required to cook them was a huge boon in the summer when it's too hot to run an oven. They're now a staple in our house and go great with hummus.

I tried this recipe. My husband is greek and we're living in England. Everytime we misses greek food, i just always go to your channel and try your different amazing recipes.

Just watching him cook this makes me so proud to be Greek. Our food is amazing

I was ready to knead that dough to kingdom come for 45 minutes until I rewatched it and understood he meant knead it for 4 to 5 minutes.

As a Greek whose uncle used to own a souvlaki restaurant in Greece, I can honestly say this is the best pita bread recipe available online. Truly professional, I would dare say better than my uncle's pita bread...

I successfully made these! I'm currently living in China and I was dying for some Greek food! Thank you so much!

I made these for the first time today and it was terribly good !! So so so good !! When I asked my father, who loves any kind of bread (french family here), what he thought about it, he just said it was not good... not good because I didn't make enough pita and should have made a huge batch So yeah, we totally approve ! Thanks for the recipe !

I came for the recipe but stayed for the beauty of this man. I have no shame and never will, but at least I can make bread... so there's that....

I just came back from Greece and yes there was so much olive oil in everything omg

His food is just as appealing as he is😩😍 Jesus take the wheel!!

I'm doing souvlaki for mother's day! It was my favorite food and I always ate it when in Cyprus or Greece... Loving your channel, best regards from Brazil! Filakia

Came for the Pita Bread recipe, can't focus on what he's saying though 😂 what a hunk 😍

I just tried your pita recipe today....and IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! Ive tried many recipes from RU-vid...and all of them were meh....yours was the only one that worked for me!!

thats the reaseon why i miss Greece. great food great people beatuifull country.

I only just stumbled this, he is just made my lunch idea for tomorrow. I am going to make this instead. Thank you Chef!

Akis you are the best! I'm so glad that you opened a english channel. as a middle eastern i know your recipes, but in every recipe that you make you add a bit of different touch, what makes it much more delicious at the end. can you please make a vid of baked feta cheese recipe with your own twist?

Akis is right, I will *never* buy store bought pita bread again. This is so soft and delicious!!

I've been watching Akis' videos for almost and hour and now I just want Greek food ahhhhhhh

My family and I love this recipe. We make homemade flour tortillas several times a week. Now about half the time we make these instead. Thanks for the wonderful channel.

This recipe was AMAZING!!!!! My whole family LOVED them. He’s right....once you make this pita bread, you won’t buy pre-made anymore. I really liked using oil to spread versus flour. I found it much easier. Try it!!!

This is forever my go-to pita bread recipe. Even my GREEK mother in law approves!

Amazing! Great recipe, i'm gonna make it today for my family... Cheers from Brazil!

Hello! I love Greek food, no matter what! And I love the simplicity of your style of cooking, I tried today the Sakiki sauce, it was delicious! and tomorrow I will try to make the Pita. I always love to New York City to the Greek Festival the people, the food, and the music is excellent! Thank you for your energy and for teaching us your culture. I dream of going to Greece, (I think half of my heart is there) haha! :) Keep cooking and showing the Greek culture through your food. That is your passion, and I can hear the voice of your ancestors.

you make me wanna go to Greece and eat all the food

I really like this chefs´enthusiasm for cooking things!!!

OMG!!!!This is the best thing ever.....healthy and delicious and so easy to make!!!!Thanks to you...I love greek food now....

The best thing I have ever loved in Greece ,When I was working with humanitarian organizations in Greece

akiiiii!!! i just made this, and they came out SO yummy! I had to wait longer than 40 minutes for dough to rise, but these still came out perfect! A million times better than store bought pita. And it was sooooo easy to make! love you aki!

I don't know why comments are disabled for your tzatziki sauce video because it is simply the best tasting and most authentic recipe I have found! This pita bread is no different, simply amazing! Thank you for sharing your food culture!

No. 1 chef! I've made them twice in a week now, very easy and tasty recipe. :)

Akis you are a superman in the kitchen 😋😋😋

Greetings from Ireland! Love all your recipes!

Just made this and oh my god it was the tastiest bread I've ever had. I don't think I've ever had freshly made bread before. I never even knew the flavors that bread could have until I tried it. My gf is super indifferent the bread and always prefers rice, but after I made these she was amazed and eventually just took off all of the topping and started eating just the bread, all of it. The fridge nor freezer works for this recipe at all, I've tried it, but for my kitchen I'm now keeping fresh dough in the fridge so I can make these on-demand. After like 2-3 hours a lot of the flavor disappears, I'm not sure why, so fresh is a must here. That must be why I've never tasted these flavors before - they disappear before I get to taste them

I can’t wait to make these to try to imitate a gyro I ate in Athens! Best wishes from the Caribbean.

The Pita is MARVELOUS! Soft, yet crunchy! I like it!

Thanks a bunch for sharing!!! Mediterranean food fanatic here... 😊😊😊

Thank you for having captions for hearing impaired, and for sharing this recipe! ευχαριστώ πολύ!

I am definitely making this, the tzatziki and souvlaki! Greetings from a Bulgarian in London :-) x

Akis! You are the boss of the kitchen!!!! A hug from Spain!!

This is insanely crraaaazy...best cooking channel ever so far

Thank God for pita!!!

I'm not even paying attention to the cooking. Keepin my eye on the priiiize 👌

I finally got around and prepared it yesterday night. It was simply amazing. Well, my pitas did not turn exactly round, but they were so incredibly excellent, thanks to your recipe. I used 200 grams of tumbled flour (buratto) and 120 grams of rye flour. A-ma-zing!!!! Thanks a lot for sharing this. It will definitely become part of my monthly menu!!

I made the pita bread with your chicken gyro and Tzatziki last week and it was awesome, the chicken was even better next day as I made more than we could have eaten for dinner. Easy and very tasty!

It is crazy how many flatbreads there are and they are actually all different in texture, look and taste. Greek pita, Turkish yufka, Armenian lavash, Lebanese pita bread (distinct from the Greek one), Bosnian Lepinja and Iranian Naan e Taftoon. Slight differences in the recipes make those breads distinct and change the food experience totally. Love it

From one Greek to another, thank you! This pita recipe is on my list for this week! You're my new favorite chef! Filakia❤️

thank you. I make the whole meal tzatziki sos, meat and the bread. My husband refuses eat pita bread from the store, he lives in Greece for 2-years and... fall in love with the food.

I am just about to pop out to get some milk and get going with this bread! Thank you for sharing. I LOVE Greek food and usually end up eating way too much of the bread :)

Thanks for all the recipes that you're teaching us. I first started watching your Greek salad, then pita bread, then the Greek Gyro chicken and now the tzatziki sauce. I'll watch all your food recipes and cook it because it looks so delicious.

These are great.unbelievably good..and very minimal kneading. Also.....check out his bacon tips,. as old as I am I've never heard of adding water to the skillet but the technique has merit and the end product proves it.

This is excellent! Thanks for showing us the authentic way to make it.

I absolutely love Greek food and this is hands down the best Greek pita bread I have ever had! I heard the hallelujah chorus after eating it (or maybe that was just my pregnancy cravings 😂). Either way these were absolutely tasty and are definitely going to be made alot more often!

Thank you Akis for the English version. I love your recipes.

I can't decide what's more delicious - him or the food. :))

Akis is so right. After making pitas with his recipe I've never bought pitas in the store again. Seriously, I couldn't believe how easy & quick these were to make but now I make them often. I always make them for our gyros, souvlaki or even just with tzaziki sauce & hummus. We love you Akis!

Great recipe, Ive made this 3 times and now its my go to recipe. Its better than chef johns recipe ive tried both. This recipe has a lot more flavour and my 3 year old loves eating them with just butter.

Something which I really really enjoyed in Greece is the food! Super tasty and full of flavours!!

I have made pita bread a few days ago using your recipe and I have to say that it was the best. They were so soft and the flavour was to die for. Thank you so much for showing how to make it step by step, I'll definitely try more of your recipes soon. xo

WOW, just finished making these and they have all gone, so easy and utterly delicious. No stopping me now. Thanks so much

Just tried this with your tzatziki and it was incredible! Subscribed!

OMG I just discovered this channel and I’m already in love with it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

daaaaang, someone should nominate you as sexiest man alive! He's handsome, he cooks freaking amazing, he has an adorable greek accent and à super conforting attitude. what can you ask more? keep it going akis, your gorgeous!

Thank you so much. I am so excited about finding your recipes. Years ago I lived in Greece for a couple months and have missed the wonderful food. Now I can make souvlaki like I used to get in Paros.

Very nice video really thank you from Cairo Egypt

AI used this recipe to make bread to serve with pasta and marinara sauce, and a greek salad with feta.Amazing! It was fabulous. My sons ate ALL of it including the salad. Thank you! This bread is going to be a regular in our house.

I made the Greek pita bread and it was so delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🤘🏼

This is a wonderful recipe... I'm arab and i made pita bread before, but that's nothing compared to this, I'm literally just done making them for your gyros recipe that I will also start making rn. The pitas are super nice and fluffy from the inside and they smell heavenly cozy. Thank you ❤️❤️

Just subscribed. Great job Akis. Much love from your northern neighbour from Albania. Keep the videos coming

I get hungry while watching this video....it looks so yummy...

Omg you are so passionate about your food, love how you explain everything. Iv been known to bring back pitta bread back from Cyprus, they taste soooo good. I’m a retired chef 👩‍🍳 but still love to pick up new tips. Love you videos & your recipes are mouth watering, delicious 😋

Heey, I made your pita bread. I added some cream+garlic+curry sauce, grilled marinated chicken breasts, french fries, chopped cabbage and tomatoes. It was perfect. Shared it with some girls. They loved it as well, now they call me all the time to come cook for them. Thanks dude, you're a rock star! Much love from Romania!

Italy loves Greek food

hello Akis,today I tried this recipe and it is a great success. Very easy to make .Greetings from Malta. You remind me of my visit to Athens Greece three years ago . Thank you for this recipe .Stay safe

Ευχαριστω Ακη! Με βοηθησες να μαθω τους Ουγγρους συναδελφους μου πως να μαγειρευουν ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ!

Great recipe; simple, and tasted delicious, thank you!

Love how you are so animated demonstrating your recipes! Are you in Greece? Recipes are more than delicious!

I love how simple his recipes are and always super tasty!!!

This recipe was absolutely amazing! I’ve been trying to make pita bread for years and this was so easy and delicious! My family loves it and asked to have it on a weekly basis, thank you for the recipe!

Yassou Akis. Brilliant recipe, works perfectly. Very easy to do. Ευχαριστώ Akis

I love greek food and your recipies are so great, delicious and easy to make !!! Keep going Akis !!! you are very inspiring, fresh and happy. It's so relaxing and nice to see your videos. Best regards from Mexico !!!

Thank u Akis. The best Pitta bread. Jacqueline

Akis, thank you for this recipe, it is amazing! I already made greek pita bread like this 3 times, and to whoever i serve it, they looove it! And so do I! They are perfect. Last time I did not have all-purpose flour, so I put whole-wheat flour and they turned out just as good :)

What a beautiful recipe!! And I totally love how people from the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries use olive oil in everything!! Being Indian, I can tell you that most Indian folks use ghee (clarified butter), coconut oil, mustard oil or peanut oil, but my family decided to be different and switched to olive oil years and years ago. And that's what I use every day too! I wish I can try Kalamata olive oil someday :) oh boy, I LOVE olives

this just confirms that Greeks like their olive oil

Great to watch the professionals working. Thank you.

Bravo aki! greetings from Chicago

done it! excellent food for the family! my kid loved it and asked me to make it every day!

you have a very funny greek accent akis.... it remindns me my accend when i was in CA! eucharisto for the very nice recipes of yours! make more vegan recipes! thank you

If this guy was in my kitchen everyday I would eat everything from his wonderful hands. Akis you are amazing and thank you for the recipes.

I love your recipes very much! So tasty! Plus (as far as I read in some of the recent comments below) I also like your maturity even towards people that seem to be really cruel with their criticisms, but I think you are doing very well.... stay the way you are! Yassas from Turkey!

Love this. Definitely using your recipe for my souvlaki! Thank you Akis!

Opa! Thank you for sharing this Akis! I am excited to try this, and the recipe looks so easy!! My best friend is Greek and I am thinking next time I go to visit him to surprise him and his family with homemade pita bread. An idea I have for an episode on your show is can you come up with a recipe to make tahini with sesame seeds from scratch?

OMG I am drooling over here that food looks sooo amazing I can't wait to make that Greek pita and grilled veggies.

I like looking for things I haven't tried eating yet. I watched this video and thought that what your channel offers is what I'm looking for. Different and exciting new ways to prepare and present food, excellent! Thank you!!

i try with my wife this recipe , and chicken skewers from your recipies , absolutelly delicious
