Another recipe ticked off from my baking challenge... this time it was Pitta Bread.
Very easy and satisfying to make... although I probably did get a tad overexciting when they puffed up like little soft pillows in the oven.
And they made a very healthy lunch stuffed with home made hummus, falafel and salad... although I probably didn't need to eat two of them.
And if you fancy making my very quick and easy hummus you just need to whizz up a tin of drained chickpeas with 1 crushed garlic clove, juice of half a lemon and about 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper in the food processor until it's the consistency you want. (I like mine quite chunky). Then drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil down the funnel of the processor while the motor is running until everything is mixed. Taste... and add more lemon and seasoning if required. Sometimes I add a tablespoon of tahini or peanut butter if I have it but I didn't yesterday and it tasted just fine.
That's five recipes done now... only another hundred or so more to go (113 actually!)
Your pitta breads look very professional and can only taste better than the shop ones. I felt the need of a bit of 'health' for lunch and had a seeded bread roll, made the other day, salad greens and hard boiled egg - lovely.

ReplyDeleteMust give the hummus a go, I've always bought it!

ReplyDeleteYour pittas look fantastic! I must get Dot (our chief bread maker) to rustle some up! Lucy xx
ReplyDeletethey look great....we made our own pizza dough and pizza cut into bit size bits for appetizers for a party on the weekend... the feeling of accomplishment is only topped by the taste of making your own! Your own "anything" really....
ReplyDeleteOnly 113 LOL? Do you make them even if you don't like them? Your pitas sure look good!
