Pita whole wheat bread


Pita Pocket bread

About:

This is a healthy way to include fiber in your diet. Make pita bread at home! This is super easy, very healthy and tastes so much better than the store-bought.

You can make pita bread either in the oven or on the stovetop, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both. In the oven, pitas puff up much more grandly and make softer pockets, but they stay pale-colored and fairly mild-tasting. On the stovetop, you lose some of the impressive puffing, but gain tasty and crunchy toasted spots on the surface of the dough. So enjoy either way of your choice.

Pockets of pita breads can be filled with your favourite fillings/salads and even Falafel (link).

I served this with Tindora and soya chunks gravy (link) and salad
