Home Made Pitta Bread
These pitta bread are the ones I made on a Greek Cuisine course I went on with my husband at Claverham College. One of the things we made were these pitta bread.
I think you will be able to see from the picture that they are pillowy, puffy and soft. They were easy to do, and as they are so basic ingredients, very cheap.

my meal plan for week 13Jul20
I’m playing with the idea of posting a weeks meal plan on Monday’s. Nothing fancy, just what I have planned for us for the next week.
Puchka tart. What’s that? Complete deliciousness on a plate, that’s what
When making puchkas, I was pretty sure it would work as a main course in a pastry case. And let me tell you, it worked beautifully!
Savoury Baked Oats
For brunch today, I had an absolutely delicious savoury baked oats dish and I give that version in the recipe card. I have had a little ponder and come up with lots of other flavour possibilities too.
Home made popcorn, less than half the price of shop bought
I noticed that popcorn could be done in the microwave, so I thought I would have a go, having previously always done it on the hob.
Home made blackcurrant jam
Make the most of this seasonal treat by making a few pots of wonderful jam
Cheapy Bread Rolls. An hour from bag to table
These are simply divine, hot out of the oven with a generous slice of cheese in the middle, so it half melts. They only take an hour from start to finish!
