Ingredients:
- you can add herbs and garlic , if you like. sometimes i just leave them plain and let the filling do the talking.
Directions:
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
- Add the flour, salt and oil. Also add any herbs and/or garlic, if you're using any.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic.
- Set it aside, covered, and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch the dough down.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut it into 16 parts.
- Roll each part into a ball between your hands.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten and roll out each ball to a 2-inch circle.
- Lay the circles on a greased baking sheet.
- Let it rise again, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Bake at 500-degrees F, or at the highest heat setting on your oven, for 8 minutes. Watch them carefully because ovens differ and some will cook faster than others. They should be a little puffy and slightly golden.
- Let the bread cool.
- Halve them right away if you plan to use them in halfs.
- TIP: while the bread is still slightly warm, place each pita in an open sandwich bag to keep it moist and pliable.
- TIP: if you have a problem opening up the pocket , put each one in the microwave for no more than 20 seconds and then open them.
- Always serve pita at room temperature.
