Roasted Chick Pea Hummus

There are a lot of different ways to make hummus, but I prefer it without the extra calories found in tahini (sesame seed paste). It's also rather expensive and can be difficult to find, and the only time I ever use it is for making hummus.

Roasting the chick peas helps to bring out a sweet flavor and adds an extra depth to the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 16 ounce can of garbanzo beans (chick peas), liquid reserved
2 to 4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Paprika

Pita Bread

Today I'm going to make this blog's first foray into yeast breads. I know they are intimidating if you've never tried one before, but I'll try to explain everything in a way that makes sense. Once you start to get the hang of working with yeast, it's really not that difficult.

I started with a recipe I found on the real Greek recipes blogspot, but made a few alterations. First, I decreased the amount of olive oil quite a bit, and then I adjusted the cooking method so that I could bake it in the oven instead pan frying. I also used honey instead of sugar, as a personal preference (either will work fine).
