Pita bread tastes so great when it's toasted.

I wonder why companies don't pre-toast it and sell it in its toasten form.

Any ideas?

Toasted bread of any sort is much better fresh. However, one little tip:
frozen Pita bread can be simultaneously defrosted and toasted using a
regular electric toaster.

My thought exactly! If you want crunchy pita, buy pita chips.

I don't freeze mine, but leftover blueberry pancakes he reheated in
the toaster during the week.

I pour a little maple syrup on a small dish, put on two slices of
leftover bacon (can be frozen) nuke it for 30 seconds and put the
toasted pancakes on the plate. Sunday quality breakfast in about two
minutes.

But you can! Melba Toast or something by Bimbo. Can't remember what they
call it.

Not quite the same. Most pita chips are fried.

Never. I'm into the whole Mediterranean food experience.

But I do enjoy maple almond butter sometimes.

There is a possible business opportunity here. Set up a kiosk in the
supermarket with a few toasters. After choosing their bread, they
bring it to you for toasting while they finish shopping. I bet there
is a big demand for pre-toasted bread.

The toasted pita I make isn't quite baked. It's still somewhat pliable, so
you can make a sandwich out of it.

Each to their own.

I put pitta bread in the microwave and heat slowly until it balloons,
creating the traditional picket to stuff and giving it a lovely soft,
chewy texture.

That's what I do, I want pita warmed but still pliable, toasting turns
it into a crispy critter.

Do you cover it with damp paper towels? Does it dry out?

I use a toaster oven. Takes forever to get crispy.

Nope. Just put it on the turn table and it heats in its own steam.

How long does it stay that way? Do you use something like a tortilla
keeper to hold it in the warmed state?

I just used them straight away. Need to make sure you do not over
microwave them though or they will go crispy but not in a nice way - so
heat just until they balloon.

I usually go for 20 seconds, open the door and turn and then microwave
again.

And I have just noticed my "picket" from before! Oh dear! I obviously
meant "pocket". Sometimes my figures move a lot lot faster than my
brain. :-)

LOL was the new typo on purpose? I find I type words using the
correct finger of the wrong hand so words becomes works etc - the type
of mistake spell check doesn't catch. I only came up with that
example because I just did it... but there are certainly more.

No it wasn't. I think the spell checker changed it and I agreed without
checking what it was changing it to. Have to laugh though. :-)

Spelling is not my strong point so I do rather rely rather heavily on
spell checkers - my favourite being google as it has a quite wonderful
phonetic algorithm and it can usually get my word even when I am
struggling with the first 3 letters.

But as I have proved here, you really do have to take the time to read
the spell checkers suggestion or you really do look a bit daft.
