Garlic-Oregano Grilled Pita BreadRoland Bello

Pita rounds spring to life after just a couple of minutes on a hot grill: The dimpled surfaces of the flatbread crisp up in a nice contrast with their soft interiors (be sure to buy the pocketless kind of pita, which is fluffier than pita that is meant to be split and stuffed). A shake of crunchy kosher salt and a brush of garlicky olive oil flecked with oregano knocks them out of the park.

Cooks' note:

Pitas can be grilled in an oiled hot 2-burner grill pan over medium heat.
