Ingredients

1 tablespoon yeast
4 cups whole wheat flour (or a mixture of white and wheat)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

In a mixer bowl, add flour , instant yeast, salt and sugar. Add water and oil. Mix until smooth and elastic about 3-5 minutes.

Place dough in a warm, oiled bowl, turning dough over to coat surface. Cover bowl with a dry cloth and set in a warm place, allowing dough to rise until double in volume (about 2-3 hours).

Punch dough down and form into smooth balls the size of small oranges, rolling them gently between the hands.

Place balls on a dry cloth (lightly floured) in warm place; cover with another cloth and let rise for about 30 minutes.

Preheat pizza oven to 500°F (start when your dough balls are rising). After a half hour raise, roll balls on a floured surface into a circle. (It will be about as thin as pizza dough) Place on a floured pizza peel.

Slide pita dough into the pizza oven until the dough puffs like a pillow. Quickly slide the pita out, turn over and place back inside the oven.

Bake again until the dough puffs up. Take out of the oven and cool on a cooling rack.

Use to dip in hummus or cool and use as a sandwich pocket.
