Pitas


This recipe comes from the Foodie Farmgirl blog. (which, by the way, has some great recipes!) Here is the link to her recipe with pictures


1 T sugar

2 t yeast

1 C warm water

2-1/2 C bread flour

2 t salt

2 T good olive oil


Place water, sugar, and yeast in bowl and let stand 5 minutes until bubbly.

Next, add oil and salt. Begin adding flour, a little at a time until the dough is slightly sticky, but firm. Remove from bowl and cut into 6 equal size pieces. Roll into 6 balls, cover with a wet towl, and let stand on floured counter for 40 minutes.


Warm up the oven to 500 degrees. Cover bottom rack of oven with tin foil. Roll our 2-3 pitas at a time and place on pre-heated oven rack for 4-5 minutes until puffy and golden. Remove and stack on top of each other so they deflate. Let your oven heat back up between batches. I like to double the recipe and you can freeze the leftovers (if there are any :)
