Pita Bread

We love pita bread at our house. This stuff just never lasts especially when we make hummus to go with it.

Pita Bread

2 tsp. active dry yeast

1 Tbsp sugar

1 ¼ C warm water

3 ½ C flour

½ tsp. salt

2 Tbsp Oil (divided)

Directions:

Combine the first three ingredients and allow mixture to stand for about 10 minutes, just to make sure the yeast is activated. Add 1 Tbsp oil, then the flour and salt and knead by hand until fairly smooth. Put rest of the oil in a small bowl and coat the dough, allow to rise for about 20 – 30 minutes. Punch the dough down and pinch small pieces off of the dough, roll dough out with a rolling pin, this can either be friend in a pan on the stove with just a Tbsp of olive oil or they can be baked at 350 until it just starts to turn golden. Brush with olive oil and serve while warm.
