Doh! I don't think I will give you advise on making your own pita bread. They turned out more like a tortilla or flat bread than pitas. They didn't puff.They tasted ok. We used them anyway. I just switched up the dinner idea a bit. My oldest middle child and I ate the bread on it's own. Hubby made his into a quesidilla and my oldest and youngest used them for chicken tacos. It worked.
But why didn't they turn out? I had great help.
I followed all the directions. Could it be the yeast? I just bought a new bottle. Could it be the flour? I am using Pillsbury which my sister said she has had terrible luck making bread with this flour. She has abandoned it for all bread making. I have noticed that my artisan bread is really flat too making me think that it is something wrong with the flour since there is no yeast in that.I hate failed attempts. What do you think?
I have to go with your sister on this one, I used to use pillsbury flour for everything and nothing turned out right and all of a sudden, I used it for years then all of a sudden for 2 years nothing. My first time making pita's yeilded flat bread also, I did not figure it out about the flour until I bought some other brand and made 2 batches of biscuits one night, and the new brand flour made the best looking biscuits and the pillsbury ones were flat!!! I have made pita's since using different flours ( Not pillsbury) and had no troubles. I don't know if they started processing it differently or what. Now I use organic flour, bob's red mill, and for almost all my bread recipes I use a mixture of bread flour and reg. flour. I love the fact you ate em anyway, So did we lol I said here they are...eat em...love em....hahaha. Michelle frugalredneck.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I have NEVER made a loaf of bread that didn't come out right!
ReplyDeleteI think I am done with the Pillsbury flour for sure. I have also noticed that my biscuits have been flat too.
