Directions
Whole Wheat Pita, This is a recipe I came up with when trying to get more whole wheat into my family’s diet We love pita pockets and I couldn’t find a WW Pita recipe anywhere even here So I made one myself They are light and very tasty and ready in one hour to eat One key is do not over cook them or let them brown at all , I forgot to rate it in my earlier review – it is 5 stars!, Sorry if this review is long but I wanted to give you my trials and successes on this one First off let me say, my DH was so impressed He isnt a pita man but he said these are better than bread and any pita’s he’s ever had! Ok, I was a little appliance challenged for this recipe but through trial and error, I conquered I have an industrial mixer, however, it has 2 blades and all the dough kept squeezing to the top and wouldnt mix So I thought I would use my bread machine Well, I had it on dough setting and after it was done, the outside of the dough was too dry and crispy I made them anyway Although they didnt rise, they were still absolutely delicious We used them as pizza bread instead Ok, then I tried the dough setting but removed the dough after mixing and didnt let the bread machine make it rise I then followed the recipe to rise for 30 mins and so on The HOLY GRAIL!!! Boy was it worth it to keep trying I just dumped all the ingredients in and took it out when it was done How easy! This is now my new bread for everything!

Add Another Cup Flour and Mix Well. the Dough Should Be Sticky and a Bit Stringy. When the Blade Is Raised the Dough Should Come Off the Blade With Ease. It May Almost Peeling Itself Away. This Is Due to the Gluten. Do So and Replace With a Dough Hook. |

While They Rest Put a Stone or a Baking Sheet Into Your Oven and Turn the Oven on to 450 Degrees. I Highly Recommend a Stone If You Use This Recipe Often. |
