Pita Pizza

Once upon a time, in ancient Greece, there was a little boy named Nikos. Nikos loved to cook and experiment with different ingredients. One day, as he was helping his mother make some pitta bread, he had an idea.

"What if we put some cheese and tomato on top of this pitta bread?" Nikos asked his mother.
"Cheese and tomato on bread?" his mother replied skeptically. "That sounds strange, Nikos. Are you sure it will taste good?"

Nikos was confident in his idea, so he convinced his mother to let him try it out. He sprinkled some grated cheese and sliced tomato on top of the pitta bread and put it in the oven. After a few minutes, the delicious smell of the cooking pitta pizza filled the kitchen. Nikos and his mother took the pitta pizza out of the oven and cut it into slices. They both took a bite and were amazed by how delicious it tasted!

Nikos was so proud of his creation that he decided to share it with his friends. He invited them over for a pitta pizza party and everyone loved it. Word quickly spread throughout the town about Nikos's delicious invention, and soon, pitta pizza became a popular dish in ancient Greece.

People would come from far and wide to taste Nikos's pitta pizza, and he became famous throughout the land.

Slowly start stirring in flour. Start with a cup, and stir a little more at a time until you get a runny batter but not as thin as milk – don’t stress about this step, you can always adjust as you go!

Preheat a 10" non-stick pan over medium heat and rub with oil (I pour some in a little cup and dip a paper towel in, then run it around the pan before making each blin)

Use a 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup measurer to scoop the batter into the middle of the pan, then quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion until the batter spreads to cover the pan surface. It should be a very thin layer. Note: The first few blini may be experimental. Try the 1/4 cup and see if the batter covers the pan. Does it easily slide around the pan? If it’s too thick, add some milk/cream to the batter. If it’s too thin, add more flour to the batter.

Nikos's recipe was passed down from generation to generation, and even today, thousands of years later, people still enjoy pitta pizza all around the world. And so the little boy who came up with the pitta pizza recipe in ancient Greece, became a legend in the culinary world.
