homemade pita bread


I made these for a second time recently and still love how easy and good they are!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons quick-rising yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups hot water (but not boiling)
  • 1-1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
Directions
  1. Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Beat well about 1 minute.
  3. Turn out on floured board and continue to knead for 5 minutes.
  4. Divide into 8 balls.
  5. Roll out each one to about 1/4 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter.
  6. Place on very lightly greased cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal (although cornmeal is really not necessary if you don't have it).
  7. Let rise in warm place for 25-35 minutes .
  8. Bake at 450 for 4 min, and then turn over for 4 more minutes or until lightly browned.
  9. Wrap immediately in a dishtowel for 3 or 4 minutes.
