Pita

 

1 package yeast 1 1/3 cups warm water 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 to 4 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in oil, sugar and salt, then stir in 2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour until the dough is easy to handle. Knead for 10 minutes. Cover and let rise in a greased bowl until double in size — about 1 hour.

Punch down. Separate into 6 equal parts. Shape into balls. Cover; let rise 30 minutes.

Roll each ball into a 6− or 7−inch circle 1/8−inch thick. Place 2 circles in opposite corners of each of 3 ungreased cookie sheets. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees F until puffed and brown.
