-
Dissolve yeast in warm water.
-
Combine with flour, then add remaining ingredients. Knead until smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes to rest.
-
Divide dough into 12 even parts. With floured hands, form each part into a smooth ball. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.
-
On a well-floured surface, roll out each ball gently to seven inches in diameter. (Do not crease or stretch dough.)
-
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for five to seven minutes on one side, and two minutes on the other side, or until the dough is lightly browned.
Tip:
For whole wheat pita, substitute white flour with 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 and 1/2 cups white flour.
