Pita Bread (Complete with Pockets!)

No comments:
Yum

These must be the simplest, quickest, healthiest, tastiest bread we've made yet. And look at those puffs! There's a lot of pocket in that thing - great for stuffing full of hummus and falafel and veggies.


Once pitas are softened, either cut in half or split top edge for half or whole pitas. They can be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for 1 or 2 months. Enjoy!

Want a heat-sensation like you aint never had before? Don't worry, it's not that bad. As long as you take the proper precautions, follow directions, stick to the yellow brick road, and what not etc etc.


Thai green curry will blow your mind though. For those even the teensiest bit apprehensive about spicy foods, this is not the dish for you. But for those with an adventurous side, let the party begin!

Giant loaves of soft, delicate, made-from-scratch sandwich bread. Half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour blend to create a healthy, delicious slice of bread, ready for sandwiches or toasting with your favorite nut spread and banana in the morning.


The smell of bread baking fills the entire home with such a warm, immeasurably comforting feeling that you'll want to instantly slice into this loaf. But don't! Let it cool completely so it sets properly and finishes baking. Hope you love this as much as we do. Enjoy!
