| 1. Preheat oven to 400°. | 2. Place the cheese, flour, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well with very clean hands. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. If the mixture seems too loose to hold its shape, add a little more flour. If the mixture seems too dry, add a bit of lemon juice, vinegar, or water. | 3. Pour 2 or 3 Tablespoons olive oil onto a cookie sheet to grease. Arrange the cheese balls on cookie sheet, rolling them around to coat thoroughly with the oil. Bake 5 minutes at 400°. | 4. Wearing an oven mitt, shake the baking sheet to turn the cheese balls, and bake 5 more minutes or until golden brown. | 5. With a spatula, transfer the cheese balls to a paper towel. | 6. Serve the cheese balls while still warm, with lemon wedges and triangles of pita bread. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
