Pita Bread

For a 1 1/2 pound batch.

Ingredients:

1 1/8 cup water

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 tbs oil

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

Directions:

Add all ingredients to the bread pan and select the dough setting for your machine.

When dough is done turn it out to a lightly floured counter top. Roll out to a 12 inch rope then divide into 8 pieces. Roll each out into a smooth ball. With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a 7 inch circle. Set aside on a lightly floured counter top and keep in covered with a towel. Let them rise for about 30 minutes.

Place rack to the middle of oven. Preheat to 500. Place 3 pitas on a wire cake rack then place directly on oven rack. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes until puffed and tops are beginning to brown. Remove from oven and cover with a damp kitchen towel until soft. Store in a zip-lock bag in the fridge.
