Wholemeal Pitta Bread Recipes

This easy pita bread recipe is made with whole wheat flour and sweetened with just a bit of honey. It’s great with a side of hummus, or use it for flat bread sandwiches, pita pockets for a light meal.

OMG TOO MUCH turkey, and mashed potato, and gravy, and stuffing… My fridge is still filled to the brim, but I’m all turkey-ed out! I need fish, and green smoothie, and some whole grain goodness. I’m so sad my *&%@#! Ninja blender is broken, so I haven’t had my usualbreakfast smoothie for weeks 🙁 . I’m still waiting for the replacement parts in the mail, hope it comes quickly because I need a full month of detox before I start cranking out Christmas cookies and getting ready for Christmas and New Year feast! ‘Tis the season!

Ryan is still using the big pitcher blender for his breakfast smoothie. But I can’t stand it, it doesn’t work as well as the individual blender, it’s too leafy and chunky and … nasty tasting, bleh! The guys over at Ninja are real sports, they have replaced our individual cups already, but they still don’t work, so now they are going to send us a whole new unit. Hopefully it will work this time and last longer than 2 months…

Organic Wholemeal Pitta Bread, Florentin (pack Of 4)

Alrighty, there’s my random rambling for the day, now on to these whole wheat pita bread for some whole grain goodness! I was never really into Mediterranean food that much, but I discovered a really great little restaurant near our house and now I couldn’t get enough. They have hummus with meat! It is sooo good! And their pita bread is so soft and yummy. So naturally, I tell myself that I need to make pita bread!

While reading up about pita bread, I came across a lot of articles saying that sometimes the bread doesn’t poof up when baked, or that you may not get the balloon effect on the first try. I didn’t encounter any problem at all. These breads baked up nicely in the oven, ballooning as they should be. And it is so cool to watch them poof up through the oven door! So don’t be intimidated, this recipe is super easy.

Since these breads are 100% whole wheat, they are best consumed immediately after baking, they do get dried out after a couple days. If you don’t plan to eat them all that day, I suggest keeping the dough in the fridge or freezer, and bake them as needed. Make sure to let the dough come to room temperature first if you do freeze or refrigerate. Or if you do end up with dry bread, try to make pita chips! 🙂

Keep in mind that yeast is sensitive to temperature, too hot and you can kill your yeast. Make sure the yeast bloom or bubble up when proofing. If it doesn't proof, it is best to start over instead of moving forward to the next step.

Lately I’ve been busy busy busy. I remember my sisters telling me when I had one and two little ones running around, just how hard it is to have older kids. How many hours you spend carting them around to different lessons and practices. I remember thinking that I wouldn’t feel that way when I had older kids and that I would always make sure my kids were on a strict schedule.

Greek Whole Wheat Pita Bread

I can’t believe how much of my day is centered around my older kids! Well, all four of my kids, really. Let’s have a breakdown of my week, shall we?

Are you sensing a pattern?! It’s crazy. And it’s pretty fun too but let’s just say making most things “homemade” has fallen by the wayside, considering late afternoon to evening baseball games going on. I’ve been crock potting it as much as possible! Except for this recipe. This is easiest bread recipe ever!

My boys are in love with this pita bread. They were very impressed I had made them from scratch. It took me a few tries to get the oven temp and everything correct, but it was worth it.

Whole Wheat Pita With Middle Eastern Salad Recipe

They are SO easy! Four simple ingredients and only one short knead session. These are fool-proof. I’m the worst at making bread and I can whip these up with ease.

Not only are they delicious, but they’re healthy too! I used all whole wheat flour but you can use whatever flour you like. And the cool part about them is that they puff up when they cook. They end up looking like pillows when you pull them from the oven and my boys got a big kick out of it.

Soft,

Fill them up with whatever you like or eat them plain with hummus. They’re great to bring to work with your lunch or pack in your kids’ lunch boxes. Even with a busy schedule, you will love this easy homemade pita bread!
