Ingredients 2 Teaspoons active dry yeast 1 cup lukewarm water 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour (gives it some texture) 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp kosher salt 2 tablespoons olive oil First, make your sponge (always the first step of any wonderful yeast bread). Put 1 cup of lukewarm water in a bowl with your yeast and sugar. Stir to dissolve, add the 1/4 cup of wheat flour, whisk together lightly and then put the bowl in a warm place uncovered until you have a nice bubbly mixture (about 10 minutes). Next, add your salt, olive oil and almost all of the all-purpose flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until you have a rough, shaggy dough. Then with your reserved flour, knead the dough about a minute or two until it comes together. Then move it to a flat surface and knead until smooth (all together you’ll knead the dough for about 5 minutes). Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes and knead again only using as much flour as you need to keep it from sticking to your hands. Now, put your dough in a clean mixing bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Put it in a warm place and let it rise until doubled, or about an hour. If you have a proving setting on your oven, this would be a great time to use it. After about 45 minutes, go ahead and get your oven heating, we need it pretty hot! Crank it up to 475 degrees. On the bottom shelf (close to the heat), place a heavy baking pan (must be heavy otherwise it will warp and burn the pitas), or my favorite a pizza stone. Punch down the dough and split into 8 equal pieces. Make a little ball with each piece and then let rest for about 10 minutes while covered (plastic wrap or a damp towel is fine). One at a time roll the dough out to about a 6-to-8-inch circle, or 1/8 inch thick. Lift the dough and carefully place it on the hot stone, or baking sheet. At 2 minutes the pita will be puffy, and you can turn it (I recommend tongs and a glove potholder, it’s hot!). As you bring the pita’s out place them in a dish or bread basket, and cover to keep soft and warm!! Always make baking your pita’s one of the last things you do before you serve your meal and you’ll have some happy eaters! Enjoy!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536208807-I8XYCPE24JBHCXE6LY3O/IMG_4598.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536208810-2URWKQ6T1YLDR7OGV17C/IMG_4599.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536209339-0OS1PSUQX6BYWI38CFOD/IMG_4600.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536209850-LT74271ONYMPTS8LS6YO/IMG_4606.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536209338-JS6DOVJICMU1VHE5UQQH/IMG_4605.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536209927-I8RWYCFIOCONKO37SB6R/IMG_4607.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536210953-U0O1WW46DMIL6HBPXHAV/IMG_4612.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651536210407-S3XJOI8AU8SHNFNOO86D/IMG_4609.jpg Blog - Fresh Hot Wonderful Pitas! https://www.somethingaboutgingers.com/blog/kafta monthly 0.5 2022-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651533841209-MIFJHW61APX64673AZJS/IMG_4602.jpg Blog - Beef Kafta… sort of https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651533841253-FHXFVU1JUBOT9UA1UXGX/IMG_4603.jpg Blog - Beef Kafta… sort of https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651533841626-RU16ECCNJH9GP13CI9X5/IMG_4615.jpg Blog - Beef Kafta… sort of https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1651534204716-XKI5BVUL74UV9OXXIOPD/IMG_4614.jpg Blog - Beef Kafta… sort of https://www.somethingaboutgingers.com/blog/candiedyams monthly 0.5 2022-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647122970346-YNT15AM5HFBEYDGTHH77/IMG_2991.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647123019109-6UHHOU4K8I50VDV38MWY/IMG_2969.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647123031403-MWF6OPY156RLB99EYQFJ/IMG_2971.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647123039750-JHE4W7VNGQ99JUT9TWQ9/IMG_2974.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647123049267-803PDOI5L5HE69X1L9MS/IMG_2975.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647123072768-BJ3VB5E8SUKG95KE5P5L/IMG_2983.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647123077597-VKO0N5SXT0TJQSQV5IZU/IMG_2985.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1647123082033-DWA86N051MIJ92Q9JD6B/IMG_2987.jpeg Blog - Southern Candied Yams https://www.somethingaboutgingers.com/blog/stonemtn monthly 0.5 2022-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1646335672899-TKKBWSNBDBTTIKJD8K8N/IMG_4378.JPEG Blog - Into the forest I go… - Wolf Rock Panoramic Beautiful westerly NC mountain views https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1646335644553-6Y59JZU1MVVBZRJP8WRU/IMG_4379.JPEG Blog - Into the forest I go… - Wolf Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61106c739f7f352a8143a7b6/1646335668002-O1PJ9RME5VFZVQNRZ57H/IMG_4380.JPEG Blog - Into the forest I go… - Wolf Rock to Cedar Rock Trail Trail from Wolf Rock to Cedar Rock and Blackjack Ridge trails.
