i stand corrected, its pita

update: i was just informed by my sister of my misspelling of pita. i was spelling it like the animal rights group. boy does that make me feel dumb, but i'm not ashamed to admit to my mistake. now back to the original post.

my friend anne recently cut me off a little of her sour starter and although i haven't gotten around to making any bread with it i have been trying to use the remnants from feeding the starter each week to economize on all that tasty fermentation.

last night i took the starter i removed to be replaced with some fresh food for my gassy friend and added it to a whole wheat pita recipe. i let the yeast feed overnight to develop more flavor and then baked it off this morning. now i just need to whip up a batch of hummus and with all this great weather we've been having in san francisco i'll have finally deceived myself into believing i'm in the mediterranean.

here is another photo of my slippers, which maybe aren't the best choice for baking in as they've begun to achieve a leopard coating of flour. it was actually quite worse before i kicked my foot on the ground to try and knock the majority of it off.
