Kitchen basics: homemade pita bread
Bread
Have you ever wondered where the pocket in the pita comes from? I mean, how does it get there? Magic. No, really. It's mesmerizing, isn't it? Seriously though, I could watch this on repeat all. day. long. It's almost as therapeutic as kneading bread dough (big edible stress ball, right? Or maybe that's just me). Homemade pita is surprisingly easy, and you'll be in awe when your flat little pieces of dough magically puff up in the oven like little yeasty clouds. They're as entertaining to make as they are to eat. Homemade pita is like night and day when compared to the stale and flavorless store bought versions. Made with mostly all-purpose flour but with a bit of whole wheat for added texture and flavor (and you can increase the proportion of whole wheat flour too, up to 1 cup, as long as the overall amount of flour stays the same), plus a little bit of honey for added sweetness. Trust me, the next time you make Gyros or (my favorite) Greek Turkey Tacos, try using homemade pita
