Wonder if I will do it :) I have everything on hand so I better get into the kitchen and clean up so that I can make a mess again. Thanks for the great recipe. I am sure that the first time is supposed to be the learning experience so totally fine to not have round pitas....shows they are homemade!! Love them baked with olive oil, rosemary and salt. YUM!!!

They were wonderful. We tried to use homemade bread at church once a month and used the tasteless wafers the rest of the time. I know it's the faith that counts, but real bread brought great life to communion.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-12624086532703307122016-09-06T17:57:26.882-07:002016-09-06T17:57:26.882-07:00I love homemade pita!

Which is more or less my experience with every bread I make; at some point I expect this will sink in. <br /><br />I don't think I rolled mine out at all, though. Just rolled them into balls and then flattened with my hands. It worked pretty well as I recall. Your post has me somewhat eager to make them again!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128676927462151254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-29655122798658497012016-09-06T17:21:42.367-07:002016-09-06T17:21:42.367-07:00I understand it is some people's life everyday...I understand it is some people's life everyday. I was one of them at one time, but we were never on food assistance. I am making no judgements about those who are, or who struggle with finances. For quite a few years I have had a budget but not this severe, and it is difficult. Normally we decide what sounds good, I buy it and make it for dinner. This takes a whole lot of the "sounds good" out of the equation and is replaced by "what is affordable". It is neither good nor bad, but it is not the way we tend to eat anymore.

You keep looking forward or commenting on the day you can get away from your frugal life, a life where you cannot be bothered by watching every penny. I am happy for you on those counts. But, imagine that you had to spend the future worrying and planning. That is the real life of some of the people on food stamps. <br /><br />I decided to make pita as I read your post. Then, I remembered they are made of wheat. <br /><br />The decision to buy flour for now and future was smart. Many on food stamps would have bought the pita bread. But, they may be so deep in childcare, work, worry that it seems prudent just to buy pita.

With that being said, I've used many drinking glasses to roll out things before because they were handy.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
