falafel aroma wafting...
I have been watching the YTs on falafel made in air fryers.
For a shortcut I put some dehydrated falafel mix into a ww pita dough.
I just had one from the toaster - what a way to get falafel aromas steaming from your pita (the spices in the mix get the credit)! You can see the yellow bits of chickpeas below.

Spread with hummus and tabouli. Toast the pita- you'll like the contrast of crunchy pita surface (from the malt) and the thin soft pita interior.
Here's the grain/bean composition: Clas conditions the whole grain dough perfectly!!
448 g freshly milled ww (85.5%)
17 g " " ww malt (3.2%)
10 g dark buckwheat (subsitute with more ww or falafel mix) (1.9%)
24 gr rye (4.6%) from clas (at 150% hydr-60 g clas: 24 gr rye, 36 gr water; at 190% hydr - 69 clas: 24 g rye,45 g water)
----------------------
25 gr dried falafel mix (spiced w/ greens already) (4.8%)
Total dry grains and beans (falafel mix) = 524gr (about 16 pita, each 57 gr dough ball)
Use 80% hydration for the total dry mix above.
(Add 383g (374 g) water for 150% (190%) clas.)
1.5-2% salt
1/2 t diy
------
Mix in Zoji: 0-10 min with grains, water and clas. Develop gluten.
At min 11, add yeast and salt;
At min 24, add falafel mix as an add in.
Bulk 2hr at 28-30C; Form 55 -60g dough balls and cook/puff on stove top. This dough allows you to roll even to 1/16 in and still get a puff!
Yummy, I love falafel and have never thought to make them because I hate deep frying. The idea of using an air fryer makes these more achievable. Nice Jo.
Happy New Year all the best in happiness and health.
