Hi All,

I know its been a long while since I've been here! Looks like I've missed a lot...hopefully I can get back into this discussion board more regularly now!

So, I have a good friend who was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and she asked me if I had a GF/WF Pita Bread recipe. I really don't, so I was wondering if anyone on here has a good GF/WF Pita Bread recipe?????

Thanks!!

If your friend is quite familiar with baking wheat bread and pita, she may like how DaveyBoy's pizza crust handles, just bake it plain:

Don't be nervous about all the directions, it's just very clear explanation of how Mom2cassie handles it.

I make up a double or triple batch now using sorghum, quinoa, tapioca and potato starch - no rice flour, no millet. I don't use the sure-jell either, hasn't been necessary.

Once rolled out you can let this rise in a warm place and use it like a focaccia. I make mine plain - no sauce or cheese - and dip it in olive oil or in hummus or whatever. I don't think we'll get pockets without gluten but you can get a great texture with this one - very well bubbled.

The mighty and powerful Flatbread recipe would be good. It doesn't form a pocket, but you could make it into rounds and slice into it.
