Pita Bread

[Mykare]

Does anyone know of a gluten free pita bread or snadwich wrap? I am on weight watchers and the gluten free breads are all high in calories and fat. I would love a sandwich now and then that will fit into my "points." I have looked at several stores and on line without success. Thank you.

You could try using a soft corn tortilla. Just make sure you heat it up first so it doesn't crack and break.

I live on corn tortillas, I made mini pizzas with them for dinner last night... so good.

what exactly do you do to them? do you bake them or anything? or just put in microwave?

i'd love to hear about this one

if you are in a hurry you can microwave them, but then the tortilla doesn't get crispy

I bake them on a cookie sheet

I put tomato paste (not sauce because it's too thin)

pepperoni

shredded cheese (I like the "mexican blend" that has cheddar and jack, but hubby likes the "pizza blend")

black olives

bell peppers

and onions

you put it all together, then lay it flat on a cookie sheet, and bake at 350 until the cheese is melted, then you pick it up and eat it

they are sooo good and the girls like to make them because I let them put on their own toppings. I have in a pinch put all the toppings in seperate sandwich baggies, and used a ketchup packet for the sauce and microwaved it, not as good but better than a rice cake.

that sounds really good...i'll think i'll try it for supper tonight

There is a recipe for teff pita bread on a gluten free blog site. There is also sweet potato pita bread. Both are whole grain and gluten free.

I use Cheba's basic bread mix to make pitas. The texture and the taste are different of course, but if you flatten out a ball of dough and bake it, you can split it and fill it. That's pretty much the only "sandwich" I make anymore.
