Pita Bread

 

1 package active dry yeast, or equivalent

1 1/4 cup warm water

3 cups flour

2 tsp salt

 

Dissolve yeast in water. Stir in flour and salt. Knead on a floured

surface until smooth (about 5 minutes). Divide into six balls and

knead each until smooth and elastic. Flatten each to 1/4 " thick and

4-5 inches in diameter. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 45

minutes. Place upside down on a cookie sheet and bake at 500 degrees

for 10-15 minutes, until light brown. These work well with whole-wheat

flour too.
