This baquette had to be may favorite. Dough was pulled out of the fridge the next day.
I’ve sort of been messing with homemade pizza dough and bread here and there for some time now. When skimming through some books at the soon to be defunct Border’s (sad face) I read something that stated no matter how homemade bread turns out (over cooked, under cooked, extra puffed or not puffed much at all) that it always taste good. I have to agree with that statement and it’s a good way to not feel the pressure when diving in to making your own bread at home.

I picked up some organic mozzarella from whole foods the other day so I could try my hand at making flat bread pizza. Then I came across this pesto recipe used on a pizza in an old issue of Sunset Magazine ($.29 at savers). I remember the first time that I made pesto I used basil and it turned out perfect but, the next couple times something missed the target. I think it was that I couldn’t find that original recipe and the others couldn’t quite live up. I didn’t have basil around this time but I did happen to have a couple bushels of cilantro, parsley and mint so I figured I’d go ahead with Sunset’s “Perfect pesto” recipe using all three herbs (equal parts cilantro and parsley with about 6 mint leaves). I already planned on using kalamata olives and going a little Mediterranean with it so I figured why not use a little mint and cilantro. It tasted awesome and I’ll be using this basic pesto recipe from now on, no more searching, definitely some experimenting with herb combos but no more measurement/amount alterations.

I’ve attempted pita bread once or twice before but this time it came out wonderful and well deserving of write up (100th post!). They weren’t perfect in shape (there were no flawless circles here) but in taste, consistency and wrapability they were pretty much spot on. Even the couple I forgot to take out in a timely manor tasted good. I think J complemented these pitas like five times while she was eating them. Now I usually half recipes because there are only two adults and a nibbling five year here but this time I thought if I was going to go to all the trouble I would make the full batch and save some for sandwiches over the next day or two. Yeah, they didn’t last the rest of the day. Between J and Z these soft breads didn’t have a chance. I seriously can’t wait to warm up the house with the smell of fresh pita bread again.
