I’ve done it once in the past and it came out great, but then I lost the recipe and couldn’t find another one that looked worth trying.</p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTx2JgmXVI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/81i1HTaH9wk/IMG_2555%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Abigail rolling out the pita" border="0" alt="Abigail rolling out the pita" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTx4Anye3I/AAAAAAAAAKA/ySseJ1rOV_E/IMG_2555_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTx5hxWPeI/AAAAAAAAAKE/DYRqfZWwunU/IMG_2566%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 50px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Abigail handing the pita to the taboon guy" border="0" alt="Abigail handing the pita to the taboon guy" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTx7CnMW9I/AAAAAAAAAKI/G87LrRKKApQ/IMG_2566_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTx7yhHdQI/AAAAAAAAAKM/6NJ5KVS_z5s/IMG_2568%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Pita" border="0" alt="Pita" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTx-MwJ-aI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/Boc7RwqeTrI/IMG_2568_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTx_h1KvgI/AAAAAAAAAKU/bj9qfR-XL6M/IMG_2572%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 30px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Ruining the pita with chocolate spread.

(You flip the wok upside down on the barbeque. Works like a charm.) Instead, I ended up finding a recipe that actually recommended you make the pita in the oven and I didn’t feel like standing in front of the barbeque anyway, so I made them in the oven.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTyDQmGfHI/AAAAAAAAAKc/WkkZ8MpLsuU/IMG_2841%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_2841" border="0" alt="IMG_2841" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_v4qGI7P_SAo/SkTyFhGiy4I/AAAAAAAAAKg/gQmB8RVPMck/IMG_2841_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>The <a href="http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/pitabread" target="_blank">recipe</a> makes 8. We were able to take 2 to freeze – the others all got eaten straight out of the oven. </p> <p>The kids kept asking me how you make the pockets. You don’t. They just magically appear :-)</p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20664654-7909699999474725976?l=www.fertilitystories.com%2Ffertilityblog%2Findex.html'/></div>Rachel Inbarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06605780418673759318noreply@blogger.com1
