Whole Wheat Pita - I did it! I turned the heat up to 375 from [View All]

[alfredo]

350 and got the good pockets I wanted. On a small part of the recipe I added some garlic, and Oregano to the dough. After the egg wash I added parmesan cheese to the top.
I didn't have any seseme seed, but I will have some the next time. If you've ever hand pita with a generous coating of sesame seeds, you will know why I will make sure I will have them the next time.

Here's the recipe I found on the web.

Last night I put a yogurt, cucumber, green onion , and dill salad in it. Black pepper is really good in this. It doesn't need much salt at all.
Tonight it was a salmon salad. tomorrow homemade Hummus.


Home made pita is easy and so much better than that wimpy crap in the grocery store.
