Since we my family has been home, I have been trying a lot of (new to me) recipes! One of my family’s favorites is my new homemade hummus and pita bread! I am sharing my recipes as part of the spring recipes blog hop with Leslie of Once Upon a Time & Happily Ever After.

Easy & Delicious Homemade Hummus

I had been promising my daughters for a while that I’d make them homemade hummus. For some reason, it took me forever to get around to it! But now that we are all at home (for the shutdown), I found the time last week to make some. I even made two batches in one day — my family liked it so much!

I used the recipe from Inspired Taste. Hummus is super easy to put together! It’s a simple mixture of chickpeas, tahini (which is made with ground sesame seeds), garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings.

Bread Machine Pita Bread

I used my ZOJIRUSHI compact bread machine to make my pita bread dough. My bread machine is smaller than most bread machines, but I like that it doesn’t take up a lot of space on my kitchen counter. It is also really easy to use!

I got the recipe for the pita bread from Bread Machine Magic: 138 Exciting Recipes Created Especially for Use in All Types of Bread Machines. The recipe book is really helpful for me, since I have a small 1 lb bread maker. For each recipe, the recipe book gives three different recipes – for a small, medium or large bread machine. I completed baking the pitas in the oven.

If you don’t have a bread machine, check out this pita bread recipe. The pita is still simple to make — you just have to do some kneading!
