These pita pockets are super quick & easy!~ Set aside 30mins for dough to set plus, another 10mins to bake and your ready to fill with your choice of goodies.
What you'll need:
- 1 Tablespoon yeast (I use dry active)
- 3 1/2c Flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4c warm water (i just use warm water from the faucet)
Method: In a bowl add water and yeast together and allow to set 5 minutes. Add in salt and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Stir until mixture looks like batter. (I used a hand-held pastry blender but if you have a stand mixture you can use that too) Stir in the rest of the flour. Knead by hand or with dough hook in stand mixer for about 8 minutes. Divided dough into 6 balls for large pitas or 12 balls for smaller pitas. Roll balls of dough out into 1/4in thick round disks and allow to sit on a floured surface for about 30mins or until dough is slightly puffy. Preheat oven to 425F and layout of a large baking sheet. Bake for 8-10mins. Allow to cool 1 minute then split with knife and stuff with your choice of veggies, fruit, honey, or meats. Enjoy!~
*I found that I couldn't fit all of the dough on a baking sheet at once, and some of the dough dried out, place wet paper towel or kitchen towels on remaining dough until you are ready for it.
