Pita Pocket Bread image

This recipe is easy, but it takes a little while as it is made with yeast. Prep Time listed takes into consideration rising time of dough. This is fun bread to make with only a couple of minutes (2-3 min.)to bake in the oven. I am posting one Vegetarian Sandwich recipe for 'Jerk Tempeh Pitas' Here is your link:...

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 c water

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, COMBINE all dry ingredients. ADD water. MIX thoroughly. ADD more flour 1/2 c. at a time and KNEAD until firm
  • 2. TURN out onto floured surface, KNEAD for about 10 minutes, adding small amounts of flour to prevent sticking. PLACE in bowl, and LET RISE until double.
  • 3. REMOVE from bowl onto floured surface. PUNCH down, KNEAD briefly.
  • 4. PULL off pieces of dough, and roll into balls. Size could be as small as a golf ball for "mini pitas", or as large as a softball if to be used for pizza.
  • 5. ROLL each ball out with a rolling pin until about 1/8th inch thick
  • 6. Bread will not form pockets if thicker than this.
  • 7. PLACE onto cooling rack, and place into preheated 500° oven for 2-3 minutes, just until bread forms pockets. REMOVE.
  • 8. NOTE: Steam escaping pockets can be scalding!
  • 9. ****For Pita Chips: SLICE whole wheat pita into triangles,
