Pita Bread...
Ingredients
  • 3- ¼ cups flour
  • 2 t. salt
  • 2 t. instant yeast
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 1- ¼ cups lukewarm water
Instructions
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a mixer bowl and mix on low speed just until all the flour is moistened, about 20 seconds.
  2. Attach dough hook, and knead on medium speed for 10 minutes.
  3. The dough should be very soft and smooth and just a little sticky to the touch.
  4. Allow dough to rise in a lightly greased bowl with plastic wrap over the top--for about 4 hours.
  5. Press it down when it starts to double in size.
  6. Place a baking sheet in the oven on the lowest rack and preheat the oven to 475°F one hour before baking.
  7. Cut the dough into 10 pieces.
  8. Shape each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disk.
  9. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  10. Now roll each disk out into a thin circle.
  11. Allow them to rest, uncovered, for 10 more minutes.
  12. Quickly place 1 piece of dough directly on the baking sheet, and bake for 3 minutes.
  13. The pita should puff up and be just about ready to brown.
  14. If your pitas don't puff--spritz the remaining disks with a little water before baking.
  15. Bake all pitas and remove from baking sheet to a warm towel so they will stay soft and warm.
