Whole Wheat Pita Bread and Tzatziki
I love the smell of yeast and fresh bread baking in the oven. I love watching it puff and rise. What a magical thing to witness. I'd always thought of pit bread as something difficult to make, but this recipe is fairly easy. It involves adding ingredients to a stand mixer and then letting the stand mixer do all the hard work for you. All you really need is some time to kill. This recipe produces the most wonderful soft pockets of goodness.
