Wheat Pita Bread

Restaurants make great pitas, and now I can make delicious, healthy ones at home too.

Fresh pitas are actually a very easy yeast bread to make: You mix it, knead it, let it rise once for an hour, then cook it in a frying pan on the stove. I make the dough in the bread maker so it's even easier.

Pizza Crust

I don't know about you, but we love pizza at our place! I make pizzas with specialty sauces, tinker with red sauce recipes, find great toppings, but mostly I feast on pizza with my husband. We may love Dominos, but homemade is healthier and cheaper, as well as lots of fun.
With a bread maker friendly recipe (that you can also do by hand), it's also not hard. When I choose easy toppings, I can make a pizza with only about 30 minutes of hands on time (with a bread maker) or 40 minutes hands on time without. It does need an hour for the crust to rise and another 25 minutes to bake both pizzas, but I'm good at leaving it alone to do that!

Golden Rolls

Three years after this recipe post my husband still asks for these. And my 7-year-old Craigslist bread machine that leaped off the counter 6 months ago is still great at making bread dough. (I was shopping and it was making me pizza dough. I think it somehow rocked itself off the counter. Either that or it came alive while I wasn't looking like something out of The Brave Little Toaster.)

I have simplified the recipe a little -- previously I used wheat flour, bread flour, and oat flour. Now I just have white and wheat flours because it's easier. Do you have favorite recipes you have adapted?
