Pita Bread  

(No Sodium)

Ingredients:

​10 cup, Unbleached All-purpose Wheat Flour - White
1/4 cup, Active Dry Yeast, Jar
5 tbsp, Olive oil
2 cup (8 fl oz), Water - Municipal
0.50 tsp = 4 gr, White Sugar

Instructions:

Add the water, yeast and sugar to a glass bowl.  Set aside to proof yeast.  This process will take about 10 minutes.  You will see the mixture get frothy in the process.  

Put the flour in a mixing bowl and stir in yeast mixture.  Mix the rest of the water and oil together and add slowly to the flour mixture.  Add until the flour makes a soft dough.  Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover and let raise for 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on how warm your kitchen is.  

Once the dough has raised, Kneed the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes and let it raise again for an additional hour or until doubled.  

Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces.  Flour your hands and flatten each piece of dough on a floured surface.  Roll dough into the shape of a pita.  Keep the dough you are not rolling covered.

Heat a cast iron skillet on medium heat to cook the pita.  Make sure the skillet is hot before you begin cooking your pita.  Cook pita for about 20 seconds then turn over and cook an additional minute or until cooked.  Stack pita on top of one another and cover with a dish cloth to keep warm.  Serve warm.  

Enjoy.
