Yummy, soft pitas with just enough whole wheat flour to give them some texture. These are fantastic with hummus! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons dry active yeast |
1 1/2 cups water |
2 teaspoons sugar |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
2 teaspoons salt |
Directions:
1. Combine yeast and water in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer and let stand until bubbly.
2. Add sugar, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour and the salt.
3. Mix well.
4. Continue to add all-purpose flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer bowl.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface nd knead until smooth and springy (If you pinch the dough, it should spring back to it's original shape).
6. Shape the dough into a ball and cover loosely with a towel.
7. Let rest for 30 minutes.
8. Place a baking sheet or baking stone in the bottom third of the oven and heat to 500°F.
9. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces.
10. On a well-floured surface, roll the dough out until it is approximately 1/2 inch thick.
11. Repeat for all eight pieces.
12. Cover the rounds with a damp towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
13. Place rounds on baking sheet or stone.
14. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 6-8 minutes.
15. Cool on a wire rack.
16. To keep pitas from getting too crusty, cover them with a damp towel as they cool.
