Pita Bread

A mere double cocktail hour for raising.

one of our fav things to do with pita bread, besides for gyros, is to make small individual pizzas. yum. just sayin'.

and you bake it where?

A dutch oven will work great for baking pita or biscuits either on a stove top, an oven, or a wood fire.

As posted, in an oven or even a skillet on the stove.
Dutch oven would be iffy because they bake so quick.
They bake very fast and puff up then go flat when cool.
There are videos showing them baking.
They say they taste better than store bought.
You can also add any flavors that you like, maybe garlic, onion, or??

Naan bread is fun too.

Pita bread is readily available where we live so I have not attempted to make it. Our favorite is to make a beerock type filling (fried onion,cabbage and ground beef or shredded beef and spices) cut the pita in half and fill.

This is the best camp bread I've ever "et". :)

Pan de campo (camp bread), long a favorite of cowboys in South Texas, has become a trademark of outdoor chef Ruben Hinojosa,
who has garnered top prizes in several competions with this recipe.

2 cups flour
2 level tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
3/8 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup cold milk

Mix all the ingredients, but don't knead the dough too much. If it feels dry, add a few drops of milk.

Roll the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick. (Thinner if you want a crisper loaf.)

Place into a well-greased, preheated 14-inch Dutch oven, and poke a few holes in the dough with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Bake 10-15 minutes, turning the bread over after about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Some cooks prefer shortening instead of oil, others use water instead of milk. Experiment to find the version that suits your
taste. (Folks cooking in regular ovens will want to set the temperature to 400 degrees.)

3c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/3 C warm water

Mix the dry ingredients and add water kneading to form a soft dough that is soft, yet not
sticky. Stretch and pull the dough until thin. Tear off a piece of dough and poke a hole
in the center with your finger or thumb. Drop each piece into a skillet of hot cooking oil
and brown on both sides.

Serve it while hot topped with honey or powdered sugar for a sweet treat (Yum-Yum).
