Pillowy Gluten-Free Pita (from Aran Goyoaga’s Cookbook)

Pillowy Gluten-Free Pita (from Aran Goyoaga’s Cookbook)

We’ve long admired the super talented gluten-free chef and baker Aran Goyoaga. But our status went from fans to super fans last year when she posted a video of the fluffiest gluten-free dinner rolls we had ever seen. They looked like fluffy, dreamy clouds — how could they possibly be gluten-free?! We wanted to reach through the screen to make sure they were real (translation: eat the whole pan 🤤).

Then earlier this year, Aran announced she was writing a new cookbook(!!) and we nearly started doing cartwheels.
