I thought for sure I had already posted this, but I can't find the post anywhere, so here it is again!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/8 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 c. whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Directions
- Stir together water and yeast in the bowl of a kitchenaid mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until yeast is dissolved and foamy.
- Stir in remaining ingredients. Turn mixer to medium speed and knead for 10 minutes. Transfer to a greased glass bowl and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll and stretch dough into a 12 inch rope. With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each into a smooth ball. With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a 6 to 7 inch circle. Set aside on a lightly floured countertop. cover with a towel. Let pitas rise about 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place 2 or 3 pitas on a wire cake rack. Place cake rack directly on oven rack. Bake pitas 4 to 5 minutes until puffed and tops begin to brown. Remove from oven and immediately place pitas in a sealed brown paper bag or cover them with a damp kitchen towel until soft. Once pitas a softened, either cut in half or split top edge for half or whole pitas. They can be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for 1 or 2 months.
