Steps

• Prepare the Pita Bread Dough
• Mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
• Make the Hummus
• In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin.
• Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
• Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
• Grill the Vegetables
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• In a bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
• Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are tender and have grill marks.
• Remove the grilled vegetables from the heat and set aside.
• Bake the Pita Bread
• Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
• Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
• Place the rolled-out dough circles on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes until they puff up and turn golden brown.
• Remove the pita bread from the oven and let them cool slightly.
• Assemble the Pita Bread with Hummus and Grilled Vegetables
• Slice open each pita bread to create a pocket.
• Spread a generous amount of hummus inside each pita pocket.
• Fill the pita pockets with the grilled vegetables.
• Serve the pita bread with hummus and grilled vegetables as a delicious and healthy meal.

• You can customize the grilled vegetables according to your preference. Try adding mushrooms, onions, or any other vegetables you like.
