directions

  • Basic Steps: Proof; Mix; Knead; Rise; Portion; Rise; Bake.
  • Mix yeast, sugar and 1/4 c of warm water in a small bowl. Set aside to proof yeast, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, pour in yeast mixture, then flour, olive oil and salt. With a wooden spoon mix in about 1/2 cup of the remaining warm water. Add water a tablespoon at a time as needed to make a firm dough. Knead by hand for about 8-10 minutes till smooth.
  • Wipe a large bowl with a little oil, add dough and cover with plastic. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Punch down dough and knead briefly. Cut into 6 equal pieces. Roll pieces into balls, place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise till doubled again, another 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°. Roll out each ball into a 6-7" round, taking care not to pierce dough surface (or pita won't puff).
  • Place rounds on a cookie sheet, brush each generously with olive oil, and bake about 5-8 minutes till tops begin to brown and pitas puff.

<p>Hi there! My name is Ashley and sad to say I am suffering from an eating disorder aka Anorexia. So you will find that most of my recipes aren't very fattening but I try to make the as tasty as possible. I am trying to get better and I find that my faith in Jesus Christ helps me in all situations. <br /><br />An update 8 years later.&nbsp; I have completely overcome my eating disorder.&nbsp; I am now a mother of two little girls and love them to death!&nbsp; It is almost embarassing to look back at the recipes because I no longer worry about eating low-calorie and these recipes just look gross, lol.<br /> <br />Update: I am happily married now and I am doing much better with my eating disorder now thanks to him!</p>
