Re: Pita Bread/Pocket Bread/calzones

[Guest guest]

I posted a gluten free Naan (indian flatbread) recipe that should be

in the files somewhere. The recipe calls for yogurt, but you should

be able to use a soy yogurt. I really liked it and it got good marks

from my husband as well.

I thought pizza dough was too gooey for calzones, so i've used pasta

dough or pastry dough, myself. But tell us how it works! I have by no

means mastered calzones.

On the subject of holiday celebrations, I would just comment that in

Japan (where main traditions are Buddhism and Shinto) there is a nice

Christmas tradition of a " Christmas Cake. " (but not a Christmas tree

in the homes). This cake is a beautifully frosted cake decorated with

lovely little sugar santa claus, mushrooms, and other holiday symbols

(the decorations are all gluten free) with fresh STRAWBERRIES! Isn't

that interesting? When I lived in Japan i always made a gluten free

christmas cake (out of authentic foods vanilla cake mix), covered it

in white frosting and decorated it with fresh strawberries and the

sugar decorations. I thought it was a fun tradition, and maybe one

that I will continue when we have kids, just for something different.

I ordered some gluten-free pita bread from Kosher.com - we have not tried it

yet so cannot tell you if it is good or not. It came frozen and I put it

directly in the freezer to try later.

Interestin site. But I think I'll pass on the " Peanut Better - Onion

Parsley " !!

It would also be nice if they did a better job labeling all the ingredients

(many products have no ingredient list at all, others are vague:

" emsulsifiers " , " stabilizers " , etc.

Please tell us how the pita bread is once you try it. Sounds

interesting.

Also, has anyone found a way to order the brown rice tortilla wraps

from food for life (i think) online? They aren't available in my area.
