Directions
Mediterranean Pita Bread,Note: This is one of the recipes I adopted in the Great ‘Zaar Ophan Adoption of 2005. I hope you enjoy it.,What can be substituted for shortening? I would like to use light olive oil. What proportion would be appropriate?,This was so easy to make. I also made it whole wheat. Soft and moist. Just be careful not to roll them too thin or they won’t puff up.
