I literally can’t get over just how easy making pita bread is. 
I never even knew.
It’s so easy you can make it in your sleep. Kinda.
The feta dip will rock your world; it’s one of those crack-like things that you won’t be able to get enough of. Of course I had to go and throw peppers in it. It gives it character. Character and a kick.
I love everything about this dip; the tartness, the saltiness, the texture. 
The jalapenoyness.
You don’t have to limit it to scooping it up with pita bread. I can think of a bazillion things to do with it. Stuffing chicken or steak with it immediately comes to mind - just for example – on a salad with grilled shrimp sounds good, too.Â
Oh, this would be great on pizza or in burgers…or broiled on top of freshly baked homemade bread.
Here’s your printable-
Lemony Feta with Homemade Pita Bread
Ingredients
For the Pita Bread
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
For the Lemony Jalapeno Feta
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
3/4 cup pickled jalapenos, diced
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and diced
1 bulb garlic, roasted and minced (you could sub in jarred garlic if you want)Instructions
Pita Bread
In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast. Set aside and let it get foamy and frothy, about 10 minutes.
In your stand mixer bowl combine 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, olive oil and yeast mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. Crank the mixer up to high and knead for about 5 minutes, until pliable and stretchy.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning over to coat both sides, and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Set in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
Punch the dough down, and transfer to a floured work surface and cut into 8 even portions. Place on a baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees along with a baking stone or cast iron skillet.
Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out into a 8 to 9-inch circle on a well floured work surface. Transfer the dough onto the hot baking stone or cast iron skillet and cook until fully puffed up, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel.
Continue cooking the rest in the same manner, making sure to cover them with the kitchen towel each time.
