Pitta Bread

I have tried several different pitta and tortilla recipes. This is by far my favorite! They come out soooo soft and chewy. I served this up with pulled beef taco meat, cheese and lettuce. This kids like refried beans and cheese.

Combine in a bowl or mixer the following:

3 cups flour (I used 1/2 c wheat)

1, 1/2 T sugar

1, 1/2 t salt

1, 1/2 T yeast

Then add the following:

2T melted butter

1, 1/4 cup warm water

Knead by hand or on low for 10 minutes. It will be tacky.

Rise for one hour.

Then dump the dough on a floured surface. Cut with a knife into 8 peices (10 if you want them thinner).

Then let the pieces sit for 20 minutes.

Then roll out into 1/8 inch thick circles.

bake at 450 for about 5 to 7 minutes.
