Pita, baklava, pull-apart bread, oh my...

It was a productive day in my house today :) There is just something about Sundays that make me want to bake!

I started out with making this cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread from Annie's Eats, and my oh my, was it delicious! What a great weekend breakfast treat. You will not regret making this bread.

Next up was another hit from Annie's blog - whole wheat pita bread! This is the stuff dreams are made of. Light and fluffy and perfect for the Lebanese-inspired chicken burgers we will be eating tonight.


Last but not least came the Greek baklava from Elly Says Opa. This dessert is positively sinful. I was a bit frightened to try it, as phyllo dough can be tricky to work with, and I am not a woman of much patience. Alas, it worked out well and the end result is absolutely decadent. The syrup itself is to die for. I would not skip out on the lemon peel or cinnamon stick - it really adds something extra.

                         

(As a side note, I used pecans instead of walnuts, as I am not a fan of walnuts.)
