Elias just tried this recipe for the first time today and it was delicious!! Pretty simple too...
Pita Pocket Bread

- 1/2 c. warm water
- 1 1/4 c. flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add flour and salt, and stir to make a soft dough. Knead well, adding a little flour if needed. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise 15 minutes. Divide dough into 4 balls. Cover and let rise 10 minutes. Flatten each ball and use rolling pin to roll into a thin circle (about 1/4 inch thick). Place on greased baking sheet. Bake @ 500 for 4-6 minutes until puffed and lightly browned.
