Pita Bread (Pocket Bread)
909	Bread/Rolls
	Yield/Servings: 16 breads
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups warm water 2 pkg. yeast 1/4 tsp. sugar	6 cups sifted flour 1/2 tsp. salt 3 tbs. olive oil or salad oil

Instructions:
In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of water, the yeast, and the sugar until the solid ingredients are dissolved. Next place the flour, salt and oil in a large bowl, and add the yeast; blend with the remaining 2 cups of water. Beat with a wooden spoon until the flour is completely moistened. Then turn the mixture onto a floured board and knead until smooth, satiny, and no longer sticky (about 10 minutes). Place the dough in a bowl, grease it's top lightly, and let it rise In a warm spot until doubled. Now turn the batch out on a lightly floured board and knead lightly to remove any air bubbles. Roll into a log 16 inch long, cut that into 16 equal pieces, and pat each section into a ball. Then using a rolling pin on a floured board, flatten each ball into a circle 6 1/2 inch in diameter and 3/16 inch thick (thickness is important). Place each round on a 6 1/2 inch square of foil and let it stand uncovered at room temperature for 1 hour. (Don't place in warm place to hurry it). Finally with the oven rack at it's lowest possible position, preheat the oven to 500 degree. Put four breads at a time directly on rack with foil underneath. Bake for 5 minutes, or until each is puffed and just starting to brown. Put them in plastic bag right away to preserve their moisture and pliability. They freeze well.
