Directions
Carol’s Easy Pita Bread,A quick recipe for tasty pita.,For those of you who were looking for a more chewy (rather than crispy) bubbled pita pocket, all you have to do is one minor change. I don’t use quick rise yeast at all, only the regular Traditional Active Dry Yeast. I prepared it in nearly the same manner, I put the flour (2 cups) and salt together, gave it a good stir. I took a measuring cup, filled about 1cm high with warm water, tossed in 1tsp yeast (I decreased the amount because I didn’t know if quick yeast was any different). This yeast-water mixture I let sit for 5 mins or so, let the yeast puff up. Then in the same measuring cup I just added water up to the original amount it required (1.25cups). Pour the contents of the measuring cup in with the dry mixture and follow the recipes steps from 2 onwards. **couple notes however: 1. I added some of the 1-1.5cup of flour while the dough was still in bowl because it was too sticky to begin kneading. (used about 1.25cups in the end) 2. I divided my kneaded dough into 6 pieces rather than eight. 3. I left the 6 pieces on the cutting board to rise for about 25minutes. Strangely enough I did not cover it and they did not dry out. 4. Took a rolling pin to the pieces of dough, rolled them to the size i wanted them (about as big as my outstretched fingers/hand). 5. I threw some alumnium foil on the baking sheet, placed three on each baking sheet. DO put it on the bottom rack, DO keep it quite hot (425 on my oven), and DO follow the 4 minute per side rule! Also DO follow Step 10. Trust me, they’ll turn out perfect. Now to find a fantastic tzatziki sauce!
