Easy As Pita Bread image

this recipe is real easy. My mother in law came to visit once from jordan and ever since my husband refuses to eat toast. but hey! i usually do the dough at night and bake it in the morning. but you dont need to leave it so much. just make sure the oven is real hot and dont open it too much.

Yield 8 breads, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 teaspoon dry active yeast
2/3 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup warm water
3 cups flour

Steps:

  • add the first five ingredients together and leave them for at least ten minutes covered.

  • mix up the dough until you get it to bounce back slightly when you press it. it shouldnt be sticky.
  • cover it with flour, leave it to rise covered for at least thirty minutes.
  • divide up the risen dough into eight pieces and roll each one out.
  • make each protion 15/18 cm in diameter.

  • you can freeze it after it has cooled down and reheat it for use later.
