While I am not religious per se, making matzah is certainly a spiritual act for me. The fact that this type of bread has been prepared for thousands of years makes it an act that connects us to so many generations of our ancestors in such a profound way.

This is my favorite way to make pita bread. Pure, fresh-milled, Ancient einkorn wheat makes a fine, soft, golden yellow flour. While the dough is a little more tender and sticky than a modern wheat dough, making it a bit harder to handle, it’s incredible flavor and soft texture is well worth the extra effort. Einkorn pitas are a delicious plain, with hummus, yogurt, or as base for gyros and other wrap sandwiches.
