Pitas (Bread Maker)

A yummy alternative to a traditional sandwich.


Put in bread maker:

1 cup + 1 tbsp. warm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 cups flour
2 tbsp. oil
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. yeast

Put on dough program.

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. When dough cycle is complete remove dough and punch down on floured surface.

2. Divide dough into 8 balls.

3. Roll out each ball on the floured counter.

4. Put 2 rolled out pitas on an ungreased cookie pan on the middle rack of the oven.

5. Bake 2 pitas at a time for about 4 minutes. Time depends on the thickness of the dough.

6. Cool between 2 tea towels.

* You can also make these pitas into great chips. When the pitas are done baking mix butter, parmesan, garlic powder and onion powder to taste. Spread the butter mixture over the pitas. Cut the seasoned pitas into triangles or squares and put onto a cookie sheet. Broil at a low temprature until crisp. They are great with dips and hummus.
