  5. Place into a serving dish, garnish with the olives and some chopped parsley. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
  6. For the pita bread: dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Add the sugar and QimiQ Classic and mix well.
  7. Add the flour and salt and knead to a smooth dough.
  8. Divide the dough into pieces, place on a floured surface and allow to proof for 30 minutes.
  9. Roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin into a thin circle.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 250° C for approx. 4 minutes until the bread puffs up.
