I have to say that bread is my downfall in life.  I love bread.  I am not picky, I will eat any kind of bread that you put in front of me.  So I am always looking for new bread.  My daughter is 14 and also loves bread.  Packing school lunches, you start to look for new things.  Pita bread was the answer.  I love that it is a pocket.  So many times when I pack a lunch, the sandwich falls apart before she gets a chance to eat it.  Pita bread helps with that.  Not to mention the incredible taste!!!  So it is a win, win for mother’s.  I am going to try this with Sourdoughs International’s South African (which is a whole wheat culture) and their Polish (which is a rye culture) cultures.  I think you can not go wrong with these.
