Can I use plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt for Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Pitta Bread?

While Greek yogurt is preferred for its thick consistency and acidity which reacts with the self-raising flour, you can use plain full-fat yogurt if you strain it first to remove excess whey.

How do I prevent the cheese from leaking out of the pitta?

To prevent leaks in your Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Pitta Bread, ensure you pinch the edges of the dough very tightly around the cheese and avoid rolling it too thin after stuffing.

Can I make the dough for Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Pitta Bread in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just let it come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before rolling and cooking.
