This is as healthier as bread can be. You can take it to the next level and use 100% whole wheat flour and your flat bread will most definitely win the award of healthiest bread in the kitchen. This bread is also very delicious and satisfying especially when used for a sandwich. The olive oil I use in it makes it very moist and soft but feel free to crunch it up by broiling it in the oven for a couple of minutes. You can have this bread for breakfast in lieu of an English muffin, with honey or cream cheese. It also makes for a great and quick lunch, just stuff it with left over chicken, tuna or any kind of meat with some cheese and lettuce, preheat in the oven for a couple of minutes and you have yourself a delicious homemade pita sandwich!! This recipe makes 10 to 13 pita pockets, depending on the size, so you can make one batch a week and keep them in a ziplock in the fridge; this will make your life so much easier (cheaper and healthier) if you have to pack your lunch.
