    Recipe Introduction


    The familiar flatbread of the Middle East is easy to make at home.

    List of Ingredients




    Pita

    3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons dry yeast
    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
    ½ teaspoon sugar

    Recipe




    Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water.

    Combine the flour, oil, salt and sugar into a mixer bowl. Attach bowl and dough hook to a stand mixer. Turn to speed 2, mix and add the water with the east. Knead for about 2 minute, adding more water, a little at a time, until de mixture forms a ball and is slightly sticky to the touch. Knead on speed 2 about 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic.

    Remove the bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place, until the dough doubles in size.

    When the dough is ready, divide it into 6 or more round balls. Place each ball on a lightly floured surface, sprinkle with a little flour, and cover with a towel. Let rest until the balls puff slightly, about 20 minutes.

    Roll each ball, using flour to prevent sticking as necessary. Spread the flat disks out on a floured surface and keep them covered.

    When all disk are rolled out, preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

    Bake on a pizza stone or a cookie sheet, for 5 6 minutes each.

    erve 6 to 12
