Pita or Flat Bread
Pita bread or flat bread is a very easy bread to make kids really seem to like helping make it as
well , here's how we do it , I hope it works well for you .
the dough 2 cups all purpose flour ( you may need more flour) 1 cup warm water 1 package yeast 2
tablespoons oil ( I use olive) 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Bloom the yeast in the water , add the sugar, and salt , and oil. mix in flour and knead the dough
till smooth and elastic , place in an oiled bowl , and cover with a towel , let it raise till
doubled in bulk , punch the dough down and knead one more time (5-10 minutes maybe ). heat your oven
to as high as it will go place a baking stone in the oven , or use an inverted baking sheet. Take
the dough and divide into golf ball sized pieces , roll each dough ball out into very flat circles ,
immediately place on baking stone in the extremely hot oven , or on inverted baking sheet , baking
time is only 30-35 seconds or until the bread Puffs up like a balloon....Immediately remove from the
oven , and set aside to cool ( yes this takes asbestos fingers).
Anyway this is how we make our version of flat bread/ pita bread
Enjoy & good cooking Todd
