Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon warm water
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
1. In a bowl, combine the water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Gradually add in the flour, 1 cup at a time. After adding in the first cup, mix in the salt and the oil.
3. Once all the flour has been incorporated, knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
4. Let the dough rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
5. Divide the dough into about 10 to 15 balls, depending on how you want the size of the pita bread. I made mines smaller, making 22 pita breads.
6. Let it rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
7. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until about 1/4 inch thick. Cover the disks as you roll them
8 Preheat the oven to 500 F and bake them two at a time for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bread puffs up like a balloon and is pale golden.
9. Wrap them in a large kitchen towel to keep them soft.
10. Enjoy with some hummus or make a sandwich with it. You can also make pita chips or a pita pizza. It's your choice. Enjoy.
