The thing is, we stopped eating store bought bread a while ago for a few reasons... for starters, we avoid wheat because of it's acid-forming properties and secondly, most store bought bread has either added sugar, added oil, or both... so it's been really hard for us to find a good store-bought bread that meets our needs, but no need to fear, because when that sort-of-thing happens the best solution is to MAKE YOUR OWN!
I have been mentioning spelt flour for a while now around here and have made a few recipes using spelt flour - like these delicious fluffy pancakes for example.
Spelt Focaccia (easy No Knead)
Spelt flour is an ancient grain, meaning it has changed very little over time. It is also a whole food, meaning that none of it's nutrients are stripped off of it like is the case with wheat and other flours. The only downside I could find is the fact that spelt is *not* gluten free. If I could change one little thing about this flour, it be that.
However, the gluten in spelt is 'supposedly' a different type of gluten that is more tolerable for the body. Due to the fact that I'm not really gluten-intolerant, it is okay for me and my body handles it well. However, if you *have* to eat a strictly gluten free diet for health reasons or because you are intolerant to gluten, then unfortunately this is one ancient grain you should stay away from.
Spelt is lovely to work with and makes the most fluffiestcakes, cookies, tortillas (recipe for these coming soon) and now, pita bread!
Best Yeast Free Spelt Bread Recipes
I'm super stoked about this recipe mostly because it's A. sugar free, B. oil free, and C. yeast free. plus it only requires five simple ingredients, two of which are water and salt..
When doing my research for this recipe, I found that a lotttt of recipes call for using yeast, which makes sense because yeast and bread go hand in hand and yeast makes things extra fluffy and stuff.
But here's the thing, I've never ever worked with yeast before. I wouldn't even know where to begin.And I'm not even sure if active yeast is something that i actually want in my body... but I really wanted warm and chewy fluffy pita bread - so i decided to just go with it and try making some yeast-free pita bread.
Vegan Yeast Free Flatbread And Pita Bread
And the results are fantastic. Now, pita bread experts around the world may or may not love my version of pita bread.. after all, it's very non-traditional. We're using spelt instead of wheat (for it's alkalinity) and we're leaving out the yeast and using good old baking soda and apple cider vinegar combo to create some rise.
You can slice it right up the middle and create a pocket that you can stuff with your favorite fillings. I took this bowl recipe and turned it into a pita bread sandwich. Or you can chew it off piece by piece dipping it into something yummy like this babaganoush recipe.
The part that takes the longest is mixing up all the ingredients, forming the dough, and then rolling out each pita bread circle shape. After that, all you're doing is heating the pita bread 3 minutes on each side on a non stick pan and wah-la you've got yourself 5 to 6 pita breads ready to go!

As I've written before, this blog is a bit of a journal for me, hence the occasional rant, so you may have noticed my tendency to just spew out what's on my mind that particular day, possibly having nothing to do with the recipe I'm posting.
Pita Bread Spelt
I feel the need this year to acknowledge that today is the anniversary of my dad's death, and definitely not in a 'oh, poor me' kind of way, but rather in an observational manner.
This day is not more painful than any other day in my life, but I found myself recently reliving some old, dusty memories while in bed the other night, and thought I'd write about them here.
If you haven't read my bio, the quick synopsis is that a lot of my health problems began shortly after my dad had a sudden heart attack.
Simple Homemade Pita Bread!
Our family had lived in the same home for over 20 years, when we decided to upgrade, and shortly after moving in to our new house, about two months, to be exact, my dad had a heart attack.
Needless to say, it was a tough time for me and my mom, and much of it is a blur, looking back today.
Though we were living in our new house when he passed, we hadn't yet sold our old home, and many nights following his death, I would drive over to our former residence and just sit in the empty space, reliving our time there.
Homemade Yeast Free Spelt Flour Pita Bread (oil Free, Too)
I've often blamed the move on his sudden death. I'm sure in part, this particular memory surfaced because our family is currently contemplating a move, giving me a good deal of anxiety.
I never stop wishing that my dad could have seen me 'grow up'. I think he would have adored all my kids, and, given his fancy for cooking, I think it would have tickled him to see me with a food blog.
Some of his best dishes were pizza (he'd make both the dough and the sauce), chicken fajitas with all the Mexican fixings, including rice and beans, and homemade submarine sandwiches and soup, often beef barley.
Fluffy Puffy Whole Wheat Pita Breads
As a young teenager, I had a job just down the street from our house, and on my lunch breaks, I'd actually return home for that delicious soup and sandwich combo. Heaven!
I thought of his pizza dough while making this bread, as I remember him kneading his dough and covering it to rise...little Lauren in the foreground, pinching off pieces of yeasty dough for consumption, hehe.
While not yeasty in any capacity, this flatbread is just as incredible as I remember my dad's to be, and it's more nutritious!
Spelt Yogurt Flatbread
This bread is what we pair with the Creamy Red Lentil Dal I posted on Monday. I have to admit, I think what everyone here wants deep down, is this bread, not the lentils...but the two are awesome together, especially when this is used as a dipping vehicle
