Pita Bread, An inexpensive recipe for pitas/pocket bread , Fantastic!
I can’t buy really fresh pita bread around here and it is one of my all-time favorite things to eat in this world
I had fun making these and they came out great
I made the dough in my bread machine, stacked them between waxed paper (well floured) and baked them on my preheated cast iron pizza pan 450 degrees
It only took a minute per side to cook them through
I like my pita bread very soft
The flavor was perfect and they puffed up beautifully
