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.
