Pita bread
Bread
Years ago after watching my friend’s mom making her daily Pita bread with ease I was inspired to make my own. My endeavors were successful in consistently making flat bread, but, pita needs to puff out and mine were not always doing that. So I gave it up for a while. Finally, I came across a 2008 posting in a blog named - Pete Bakes!, depicting excellent pita making photos, along with a recipe from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, a book I do not own – shock of the world, but anyway, I was inspired to revisit my pita making days. <br /> <br />With the exception of using bread flour and rapid rise yeast (my tweaks) - the dough recipe on Pete Bakes! - is similar to the recipe I acquired years ago; additional tips in handling the dough made all the difference for me. <br /> <br />This recipe is easy and fun to make; in fact they turned out to be the best looking I have ever made. Those I baked in the photo, above, were done on a flat cookie sheet - the next time around I used a baking stone, both work just as well. <br /> <br />While they are baking, I just have to stay close to the front of the oven to watch them puff and I bet you will too! <br />
