Ingredients:
ingredients
1.3 cups flour
the dough is easier to knead (by hand) if it rests first.
2. 1/2 tbsp sugar
3. 1 tbsp olive oil
4. 1 tbsp salt
5. 1/2 pkgs dry yeast (3-3/8 teasp.)
6. warm water (3/4 -1 cup )
Directions:
1. Warm 1/4 cup of water in the microwave for about 20 seconds. dissolve the sugar & the yeast, & set aside till the yeast foams up.
2. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together all the ingredients.
3. Knead into a smooth dough, on low speed in a stand mixer, for about 5/6 minutes. If using your hands as I did, roll up your sleeves & knead with your fists till ypur arms hurt for about 10
4. Place in a bowl coated with olive oil, turning over once so that the dough is coated with oil.
5. Keep in a warm place to rise, about 1 hour, until doubled in volume.
6. Now punch down the dough and divide into 6 pieces., Roll each ball into a dough around 7 inches in diameter cover with a kitchen towel, and allow the balls to rest about 30 minutes.
7. . Try to roll evenly so the pita will rise in the oven, making a perfect pocket.
8. Place a pizza stone or unglazed ceramic tiles in an oven( I did not have a pizza stone, so I turned over my regular baking tray upside down), and preheat to 450 degrees.
9. Spritz the pizza stone with water (Do not try sprinkling water if you are using a glass baking tray) and, after 30 seconds, place as many pitas as you can on the stone without overlapping.
10. Leave alone for 3 minutes. The pitas should puff up.
11. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. The pita should now deflate.
12. serve with doner kebab or kofte (meatball)
