Joan, what could be better than potatoes, butter, and sour cream! They sound delicious.
Cwcdesign, that recipes looks really good.
This is the recipe I've used.
1/2 tsp instant yeast
3/4 cup white wheat flour (4 oz)
3/4 cup unbleached flour (4 oz)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp olive oil
5 oz water
Put all in bread machine and do 1 knead cycle. Let rise for 2-3 hrs (or overnight) until a little more than double in bulk. Heat stone at 450 degrees for 1/2 hour or use parchment lined pan. Cut dough into 6 pieces and roll into balls. Put flour on counter and flatten a little into a circle by hand and flour both sides. Let rest 10 minutes and then roll into a 6 or 7 inch round that's 1/8 inch thick. Place on stone and bake for 4-5 minutes. Stack them on a towel and cover. When cool store in a ziploc bag.
I thank God that my husband and I have no allergies to any food. A lot more to choose from and to be adventurous.
The only pitas I ever made were MrsM's recipe. It may be saved somewhere here. They came out pretty even as I remember. Used www and ap flour. Swirth, the search guru, may be able to find it.

Just getting around to reading the site--been busy. Crab stuffed shrimp is incredibly easy and delicious Even you could do it, Mike. 😏 no judgement
Making cheese enchiladas with refried beans tonight. Chinese take out last night and reubens the night before.
Welcome, Janiebakes. I remember you from the old bc. Still miss it. Got an email from kaf saying free shipping on $100. 😱 yikes.
Mom is visiting my bro for 12 days to give me a rest from caregiving the last 3+ yrs. Been crossing stuff off my to do list so haven't been doing much cooking or baking.
Got around to making a cream cheese pound cake and www bread this morning.
Mike, your breads look like they came from a bakery! Good job.
Went to stopnshop a little while ago. They had mom's fav so I bought her 2 boxes. $6.99 each!!!
Joan, they're good. Mom likes the Entemanns ones but there were none in the grocery store the other day. What's with that? I mean, Friday is good Friday and Sunday is Easter! Things are not the same.
Mike, I'd be interested in hearing your results. I was gonna use the recipe in the whole grains book but wasn't too sure mom would like them. I would. I'll try those next time.
Made Kafs easy hot cross buns using the tangzhong method. The only change I made was to substitute 1/2 cup of www for 1/2 cup ap flour. I've never made these before nor used the tangzhong method so don't know if it really did anything. Lol. At any rate, they're very good. Moist and fluffy.
