Potato naan with some garlic and olive oil on top!

Mario Batali, without question -- best recipes, best attitude, best all around.

FYI -- It's the "Hotel Roanoke", not the "Roanoke Hotel." It's located in Roanoke, VA.

True pita-- the kind you can only get in the Middle East. Both sides are thick and pillowy; the pocket stays intact so you can stuff it until overflowing with salads and sauces. I actually brought two dozen back this summer-- on a 24-hour flight. They were gone in a week and a half.

My favorite is naan, though lefse isn't bad (as long as there isn't any lutefisk on it), and lavosh too if you have the right spread.

While I love all breads, I think pita might be my favorite for its versatility. Plus, it's easy to make at home.

Pizza bianca! It takes me back to a long weekend vacation we took to Rome last November. Being there for such a short amount of time, we'd run around seeing the sites all day and then crash in the late afternoon for a jetlagged nap. In the evening we'd head outside and couldn't resist the freshly baked bread at Roscioli right next to our hotel. Our little tradition for each day we were in Rome was to grab some of the pizza bianca (cut to order by weight from a large pan) after our power naps to stave off hunger for later dinners while we strolled the centro storico. It seemed to be a very popular thing to do among the locals too.

The post above about the chickpea flatbread brings back wonderful memories. I believe it's called Farinata? Delicious!
