Pitas

Over three years ago I made hummus and said I needed to find a recipe for pita to make my favorite snack/meal inexpensive.  Well I found it and it is fantastic!  No more expensive cardboard from the store(with the name pita on the package).  I will be trying 1/3 whole wheat flour next.  It's too bad I can't double this recipe because the kids were all over these and *poof* gone!

This recipe came from momgrind.com

1-1/4 cups whole milk. Warm it for about 30 seconds in the microwave.

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cups bread flour. Bread flour...not all purpose flour(although you can add vital wheat gluten...I don't remember the quantities though)

1-1/2 teaspoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Bread Machine Yeast

Throw all ingredients into breadmaker on dough setting.

On a lightly floured surface divide into 8-12 portions depending on how big you want them.  I made 8.

Shape in smooth balls.

Use a rolling pin to flatten.

Cover dough and let rise about 30 minutes or until slightly puffed.  I turned on my oven for a minute then turned it off and popped them in there since it's not warm in my house right now.

Bake in 450 degree oven for 5 minutes.  

Cool on a wire rack.  I'm including this step but I didn't do it...just grab one up and tear off small pieces as tossing hand to hand so to not burn yourself.
