Pan de Glo...Hi, Marilyn--<BR/><BR/> Thanks for visiting :)! Pan de Gloria sounds wonderful, I don't think I've ever had it! If you find a recipe, would you mind sharing? Yeast bread can be finicky... I think it can smell fear, LOL :)! That's why I love these pitas-- you do not need yeast! If you can make pie crust or tortillas, you can make these pitas!<BR/><BR/>One of my hopes is to try my hand at making pan cubano at home soon. I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks so much for visiting my blog!<BR/><BR/>Your blog is awesome! I love having a reason to read in Spanish, before I forget everything!<BR/><BR/>Mucho gusto!! :)Karen Brown Letartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438094251522801081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-1311248789469989282009-01-30T12:34:00.000-08:002009-01-30T12:34:00.000-08:00Hi Karen,Wow!

Homemade Pita!<BR/>I have no patience or talent to make homemade bread. <BR/>I have been trying to make Pan de Gloria (Cuban sweet bread) without success. I am really bad at making bread that requires yeast.<BR/>Thanks for your comment in my blog.<BR/>Nice to meet you.<BR/>Keep cooking!<BR/>Greetings from California.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915618947264512465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-22716833466492367162009-01-28T22:34:00.000-08:002009-01-28T22:34:00.000-08:00Thanks for the explanation, I'll be sure to scan t...Thanks for the explanation, I'll be sure to scan the store shelves for "King Arthur" brand, if I can't find it I'll let you know (thanks for the offer I'll keep it in mind :)<BR/><BR/>The brand of flour my mother uses is "La Piña" but the only reason she uses it is because she say's, "It's the brand we used in Mexico for flour tortillas"<BR/><BR/>Oh wow your kid got braces, that sucks braces make it a pain to eat (one of my friends had to go through it, he dropped weight but it was a good thing since he was a little chubby back then) but it's worth it once you get your nice straight teeth I guess.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-1621298927082221642009-01-28T18:46:00.000-08:002009-01-28T18:46:00.000-08:00Nathan, I'm sure you can use regular bleached flou...Nathan, I'm sure you can use regular bleached flour no problem for these. It's just that the unbleached, since it's less processed, tastes a little better and of course is much better for you. I think the unbleached may "behave" a little better, too, without the bleaching chemicals in it. It's probably similar to the difference between cooking with salted butter vs. unsalted butter-- the unsalted is fresher and tastes better, but the salted kind works just fine.<BR/><BR/>I love to use King Arthur brand unbleached all-purpose flour, as it's made in small batches. I used to live in the town in VT where it's made (Norwich), so I'm a little sentimental about it. If you can't find the King Arthur in CA and want to try it, send me your mailing address and I'll send you some. Pillsbury, Gold Medal, bleached, unbleached-- it will all work fine! :)<BR/><BR/>I do love to cook. I made these pitas while my ful was simmering the other day, as a special treat. (Much cheaper than store-bought pitas too! :) )<BR/><BR/>Sounds like your mom is taking good care of you while you are sick! Yes, you have to be careful not to get run down. My son loses weight when he is sick too. Poor Stefan, he just got braces on his teeth today and can hardly eat at all, between trying not to bite himself or the braces and his teeth being so sore.Karen Brown Letartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438094251522801081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085009377864158071.post-82094961598185691262009-01-28T13:28:00.000-08:002009-01-28T13:28:00.000-08:00Oh yeah great Pita's, I will have to make these wh...Oh yeah great Pita's, I will have to make these when I make the "Ful" oh and can regular bleached all purpose flour be used?

She's been cooking lots, Saturday she made Pineapple Tamales, Pork Tamales, and Chile Relleno as well as a Habanero based hot sauce and some refried beans) Had plenty of leftovers from that up until Yesterday.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.com
