Pita Breads
1 package active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups warm water; 110 to 115 degrees
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Combine yeast, water and sugar in large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add oil, 3 cups flour and salt, mixing until smooth. Mix in enough remaining 1 cup flour to make smooth dough. Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; let stand, covered, in warm place until double in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Shape dough into 12 balls; let stand, loosely covered, 30 minutes; dough will not double in size. Roll balls of dough on floured surface into rounds 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Place rounds, 2 to 3 inches apart, on cookie sheets; let stand 30 minutes. Bake breads, 1 pan at a time, at 500F until breads are puffed and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool on wire racks. 12 servings.
