Pitas

So here are some photos of my latest adventures in breadmaking.  We've been craving some good flatbread; Seth's been making a lot of hummus and other dips.  I found a sourdough based pita recipe online here (been reading a lot of bread blogs as of late) and it came out pretty much perfectly.  Since I usually make quick no knead loaves, kneading this dough was a nice change of pace and really gratifying.  I got this lovely, silky dough that I let rest for just a few hours and then cut into pita-sized pieces.


...rolled them out

...tossed them in a hot oven


And watched them puff up, the most fun part.


Which means they're ready to be pulled out, where they deflate into a disk of delicious, pillowy goodness.


Easier than pie!  
(which, incidentally, I am going to bake right now!  First of the season: strawberry rhubarb.  pictures to follow?)
