I know it's been a while since I've posted. I haven't stopped cooking, I just haven't been as good about taking photos of the food. But when I made homemade pita bread for the first time today, they just looked too good not to take a picture of and share. Of course, since pita is a bread, I went to King Arthur Flour's website for the recipe.
They were surprisingly easy to make and turned out much better than what you get from the store. I followed their recipe as written and used instant yeast, which is the only yeast I bake with since it doesn't require "proofing". I placed the rolled pitas and parchment and baking them on a half sheet pan. I was able to fit three on the pan so it took three batches to bake off all eight pitas. All but one of my pitas "popped".
While good on their own, I'm looking forward to stuffing them with balsamic chicken, sun-dried tomatoes and lettuce for lunch. They would also be great with hummus too.
