They are also the easiest bread to make. earlier I made Pita Bread with all purpose flour, but this time made it with 100% whole wheat flour. You will need very few ingredients. These are fool-proof. These are very delicious and healthy too. The main part is, which I love watching them through the oven door mirror while baking, when they puffing up. They end up looking like pillows when pull them from the oven. I made some pita bread with Italian herbs as well. They tastes awesome. You can make so many things out of this pocket pita bread such as falafel sandwich, pita bread pizza, you can stuff it with potato patty and with salads or you can eat them with hummus.
