Pita Bread

Pita Bread

* 3 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
* 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
* 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
* 2 Tablespoons of olive oil

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water.

Combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture and
the oil and knead. If too sticky add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour until you
get the right consistency. If too dry, add 1 tablespoons of water at a time
until you get the right consistency.

Roll out into a rope and cut into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and
roll out until it's anywhere from a 6 to 8 inch circle.

Preheat oven to 500� and put a pita on a wire cake rack or on a perforated pizza
pan. Toss in the rack and cook for 3 minutes or until the bread stops puffing
up. When you take it out, smash down the pita (Careful, its hot!) and quickly
put it in a plastic freezer bag.
