Mel's Whole Wheat Pita


 

1 ¼ cups warm water

Pinch of sugar

2 Tbs. olive oil

1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour

1 ½ cups bread flour (I use whole-wheat)

1 ½ tsp. salt

2 tsp. yeast


 

Divide dough in half, covering one half with plastic. Divide first half into 5 balls. Let rest 10 min. under cover while you do the same to second half. Roll out into 6 inch circles. Cover and let rise 25 minutes. Place a baking stone in oven and heat to 450°. Put 5 pitas on one cookie sheet and put sheet directly on stone to bake for 12ish minutes. Do not open the oven during the first 4 minutes as the steam pushes the two halves of the bread apart. Do not over bake. Keep baked pitas between two kitchen towels to cool and stay soft. I freeze mine when cool.
