These are soft and squishy deliciousness. I used my food processor to mix everything.
4 cups whole wheat flour (or 2 cups white flour, 2 cups whole wheat)
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1-1 1/4 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 500*
2. Mix 2 cups flour & yeast together
3. Add water & salt & mix well
4. Gradually add the remaining flour until dough comes off of the sides of the bowl. Use only enough flour for the dough to come off the sides!
5. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic
6. Form dough into balls (as many pitas as you want is the number of balls to roll. (I did 12)
7. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle - about 5-6 inches & 1/4 inch thick.
8. Place on a non-stick baking sheet and let rise about 30 minutes. (they will only slightly rise)
9. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 5 minutes (the heat will make them puff up quickly)
10. When the pitas come out of the oven, they may be hard but they will soften as they cool.
11. If they won't be eaten right away, store them while still warm in an airtight container.
