I decided that pita bread would be another delicious accompaniment to our lamb dinner, along with the tabbouleh I posted yesterday. While store-bought pita bread might have been quicker, I have been determined to make homemade pita bread and after reading through the directions, decided I'd have time after work and before dinner to attempt it. My thoughts? Homemade pita bread is easy!!, certainly the easiest yeast bread I've ever worked with. It has such a fast rise time and the dough was no trouble to work with. This bread had a very hearty flavor, given the large amount of whole wheat flour, but overall it was still a very light bread. I loved watching these puff up in the oven and wrapped in a kitchen towel, they stayed warm for nearly an hour before we finally ate them. While I can't promise that I will always make pita bread from scratch, I'm thrilled to know it's such a simple option!
