I have been trying to save some cash on food. One of the things I always buy that I could probably make myself is bread. I know that I can make loaves of bread, but we don’t usually eat slices of bread. So instead of making loaves, I thought that I would try making pita bread.
Until I stumbled upon this recipe, I thought that pita bread was made my magic. I never occurred to me that I could make it all by myself.
I followed the recipe almost exactly, although I did substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour in place of 1 cup of the all-purpose flour.
This is one of those things, like yogurt, where it takes a few hours to get to the point of cooking, but the actual active cooking time is pretty short. I would definitely recommend trying this recipe.
Watching the pita bread bubble in the oven is still like magic.
What is something that you always thought was hard but turned out to be easy once you tried it? Share!
Wow! Looks good! I’m on a yeast free diet so I’m looking for recipes for yeast free bread like French Meadow makes. It’s $6.00 per loaf so it’s pretty pricey.
Shelley – try to find breads that are made with baking soda instead of yeast. They are usually called “quick breads”. Zucchini bread, strawberry bread, and banana bread are common types, but I bet you could find a plain recipe. I think Boston Brown Bread is a quick bread. Good luck being yeast free!
