For the pita bread:

- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water

To make the pita bread, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a circle. Bake the pita bread for 5-7 minutes until it puffs up and turns golden brown.
To make the filling, slice the eggplants into 1/4 inch rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 30 minutes to remove any bitterness. Rinse the eggplants and pat them dry. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add some oil. Fry the eggplants until they are golden brown and tender. Cut the hard-boiled eggs into slices.
To assemble the sabich, spread some hummus and tahini sauce on the pita bread. Add the eggplants, eggs, parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Drizzle some lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
