I made bread today because Monday is bread day. We make our own bread because it's much more nutrtious (and tasty). On a good day I will make 6 loaves. Sometimes I have made double that. Today I was a bit psycho - I couldn't stop - and I made 11 loaves of bread and 16 loaves of pita bread. We freeze most of it and eat it over a 1-2 week period. I have never made pita bread before, but figured I'd try it. They seemed a bit flat because I made the mistake of using 100% whole wheat, like I do for regular bread. Oh well, I concluded they aren't my favorite type of bread, but we can eat them. Not sure what to put in them... any ideas? Actually, I probably can't put anything in them because they're too flat. LOL! Gotta go convince my kids that pita bread is a fantastic snack! I just need to add PB&J and they'll never know the difference. :)

is it a secret recipe??? i am always up for trying new recipes now that we have a serious, top of the line wheat grinder. looks yummy. this is jessica, from the ames ward by the way. your family is beautiful. did you see the old pics i put on the ames ward facebook page???
Chicken salad in the pitas. Yum.
Dip the pitas in hummus. Will you teach me to make bread?
Jessica-Nothing special about the recipe. However, to make light,fluffy bread in this quantity (and 100% whole wheat) I had to break down and get a nice bread kneader (I recommend Bosch or Electrolux DLX-that's mine). And of course the wheat must be freshly ground. I enjoyed those photos a lot and even saved some. :)
Marianne-yes, I can teach you, but refer to the above paragraph to see if you're really interested. ;)
I am so impressed you make your own bread. You are so domestic:) I have a kitchenaid but wish I had a bosch. The kitchenaid doesn't make big batches well. I haven't heard of the Electrolux DLX. I'll have to look it up on the internet. Happy baking!
While I love my DLX, I'm unsure whether the price differential over the Bosch Universal is worth it. I hear the DLX will hold 32 cups of flour, but I really can make 6 big loaves max at one time or the dough flies everywhere.
