It has been thundery and rainy most of the day and that is scheduled to last over the weekend. So what better use of your time than to learn to make pita bread! The muggy weather is perfect for getting the dough to rise, too.
This couldn’t be simpler! Even if you don’t regularly bake
bread, this is still very achievable. The method for making the dough is fairly
standard – add wet to dry, kneed a bit, allow to rise, knock back, shape and
bake.

I like the seeded aspect – Nigella seeds would be scrummy,
but I only had poppyseeds to hand. Next time I might make them with sesame
seeds and a little sesame oil. Pita breads are amazing dipped in curry, but you
could also fill one with honey sesame chicken for a delicious lunch.
