6 pocket breads (pita, 5 to 6 in. size)
5 to 6 tbsp. butter, softened
4 tsp. ground cumin

Stack breads and cut through the middle with bread knife, then cut off the rounded sides so you are left with 2 stacks of strips (measuring about 2 x 6 inches). Separate pieces and butter the strips on the rough side and sprinkle cumin over the butter. Preheat oven on broil. Place bread strips on cookie sheet, buttered side up, broil 6 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch constantly, serve immediately in a cloth covered basket. Makes 24 bread strips.
