Summary

Name: Pita

Category: Breads

1 package yeast

1 1/3 cups warm water

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3 to 4 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in oil, sugar and salt, then stir in 2 cups of the flour. Beat until

smooth. Stir in remaining flour until the dough is easy to handle. Knead for 10 minutes. Cover and let

rise in a greased bowl until double in size — about 1 hour.

Punch down. Separate into 6 equal parts. Shape into balls. Cover; let rise 30 minutes.

Roll each ball into a 6− or 7−inch circle 1/8−inch thick. Place 2 circles in opposite corners of each of 3

ungreased cookie sheets. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees F until puffed and brown.
