Yield 16 pitas, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Proof yeast with sugar, and 1/2 cup warm water in a bowl for 10 minutes, until frothy.
  • Add 2 cups warm water, and 1 cup of the flour. Stir until well combined.
  • Add salt and 2 tbsp oil, then gradually add remaining flour until dough forms a ball.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic, then cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled - about 2 hours.
  • Punchdown dough and divide into 16 portions, keeping dough covered.
  • Roll each portion into a 7" disc, and spread out in a single layer. Keep covered and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a pizza stone (or baking pan) in a 500*F oven.
