Pita Bread
1 package active dry yeast, or equivalent
1 1/4 cup warm water
3 cups flour
2 tsp salt
Dissolve yeast in water.  Stir in flour and salt.  Knead on a
floured surface until smooth (about 5 minutes).  Divide into six
balls and knead each until smooth and elastic.  Flatten each to
1/4" thick and 4-5 inches in diameter.  Cover with a damp towel
and let rise for 45 minutes.  Place upside down on a cookie sheet
and bake at 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until light brown.
These work well with whole-wheat flour too.
