love
this Basic Pitta Bread Recipe - Just think of all the good
things you can stuff into a Pitta.
It's so easy to make delicious
Snacks and tasty pitta pockets. For a healthy, low carb, light meal,
why
not stuff a Pitta with fresh salad and our own homemade Hummus,
see photo. For another vegetarian delight, why not stuff
some with crispy iceberg and Baba
Ganoush.
Or you can use grilled meats, fish, or even roasted vegetables. It's
really versatile bread, and much easier to prepare than a sandwich.
It's so much easier to make this recipe using a breadmaker!
