HOMEMADE PITA BREAD

Enough for 10 pitas.

You can double the recipe if you wish.

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons active dry yeast

1½ cups warm water

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon of sugar

1 tablespoon of salt

Instructions:

Mix the yeast, sugar and warm water, let it rest for 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt. Add the olive oil and yeast mixture and knead by hand for 6 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, you can add more flour.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and let it rest for 2 hours in a warm place.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, gently press out the air, and divide into 10 equal pieces.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or pan roast for 4 minutes per side, or until done.
