Pita Bread

Recipe Description

This bread is so delicious...far better than store bought pitas.

The picture attached shows my first attempt at making them. I obviously need practice in making them round

Preparation Steps:

Preheat oven to 500º

Level of Difficulty:

Easy

Time Needed:Ingredients:

1 1/8c. warm water
3 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 T. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp yeast

Serves:

8 pitas; recipe can be doubled

Directions:

Put in bread machine on dough cycle.

When done put onto lightly floured surface and roll into 12" rope.

Cut the rope into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, and then use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a 6"-7" circle.

Put onto cookie sheet and cover with towel and allow to puff a bit (about 30 min).

Bake 4-5 min without opening oven!! until they become puffy and lightly brown-don't burn.

Remove and place in brown paper bag or cover with damp towels to soften them. Store in fridge, can be frozen.

I need to make more of these; they are a huge hit. I am thinking of doubling or tripling the recipe so I can freeze some.

That sounds delicious, and Dave is a big chicken caesar salad fan. Maybe I'll add this to the menu rotation :think:
