Homemade Pita Bread

My husband is currently doing a 28-Day Cooking Challenge and he landed on a Homemade Pita Bread for his first recipe. Mind you, this man has cooked maybe, and that’s a big maybe, four times for us in our 12 years of marriage.

Hey, we each have our strengths. I am the nutrition and food specialist in our family. And he is the design and business genius. We like to divide and conquer, you know?

Anyway, for some reason, and don’t ask me why, Preston decided that on January he will be putting himself through a 28-Day Challenge. A challenge where he will be making one recipe a day, every day for the 28 days.

And when I heard that, my friends, it was like music to my ears. I am still smiling big, because the challenge is still going.

The fact that he hasn’t cooked much at all in the last 12 years of marriage, is somewhat irrelevant in his case. And I say that, because everything he has made so far has been completely delicious. I think it’s because he has a lot of patience, he is great at following instructions and he has an incredible ability to focus. All of which are attributes you want when cooking and baking.

So, needless to say, he has really been killing it. I will be sharing some of the recipes he has made for his challenge here on the blog. So keep coming back and check on updates. I will be sure to note in the write-up section which ones are ones he’s made.

And today, I am starting Preston’s recipe share with this recipe, his very first one. An ambitious one, I must add, especially for someone who’s just getting started.

Most people who are following his challenge on Instagram, have asked: “why pitas?”

And that is a very fair ask. Because it is a very odd choice. But it has an explanation:

Preston asked me what I think he should make. And since I needed pitas for a meal I was about to make, I simply said: “pitas!” In my mind I figured, it would selfishly save me some effort, he’d be trying something completely unique and different, and we’d likely be happy with the end product because he once, a long time ago, aided me while I was baking them. So he was somewhat familiar with the item. And the recipe I was about to give him was a tried-and-true one. Which is key.

So here we are.

My friends, I would highly suggest you get the ingredients to make these. Also, I have the following recipes on the blog that are simply outstanding and pair perfectly with the pitas: Traditional Hummus, Labneh with Golden Berry Chutney and Pickled Vegetables. The whole spread is next level and you must try it.
