Pita Bread

Pita Bread  (Grandma Jo's recipe)

1 1/4 C. warm water

1 T. dry yeast

1 lb. flour  (about 2 C.?)

1/2 t. salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar.  (If using instant yeast, adjust, adding to dry flour.)  Leave it in a warm place for about 10 minutes until frothy.  Add salt and flour.  Mix well with hands (or mixer) for about 10 minutes.  Let raise for 2 hours.  Punch down and roll out into round balls.  Put on lightly floured dish towel and let rise while oven is heating.  Preheat oven at highest temperature for 20 minutes.  After oven has been on for 10 minutes, put in baking pan to heat for remaining of the preheat.  Place dough on hot pan and bake for 5 minutes.  Cool and slice part-way into middle.
