Pita Pocket Bread (Bread Machine),So easy to make your own pita pockets, and even EASIER to do it in the bread machine! Kids love these for car trips or picnics; can’t help but feel adventurous with one of these in the lunch box! NOTE: If you don’t have a bread machine, you can STILL make this recipe…see DIRECTIONS at the bottom. COOKING TIME includes rising time,Worked well, adapted to use tangzhong bread method (2 Ths of the white flour, with 6 Tbs pf the water, microwaved on high for 33 seconds, till pudding-texture). Covered the dough balls with plastic wrap, lightly, for the 20 min rest. Rolled the dough balls into 6 inch circles, using a rolling pin, then waited 10 minutes before baking, only one sheet at a time, and got full puff/separation balloon pitas. I did try to gently pat the dough balls into 6-inch circles, but those did not puff at all. So, note to self, use rolling pin.,I’m confused. The recipe says to divide the dough in to 10 pieces, and then cut each in half to form 2 pockets each. That would be 20 pockets. But the yield says it makes 10 pockets. It seems like 3 1/3 cups of flower for 20 pockets would make pretty small pockets–so should it actually say to divide the dough in to 5 pieces, yielding 10 pockets? Or is it supposed to be 10 pieces, yielding 20 pockets?
