2 CUPS OF FLOUR

 You can use any Bread Recipe to make your Pita or Flat Bread.

Cindy used her bread machine to mix her ingredients but, if you do not have one that is OK. A Bread Machine just makes it easier.  Make into soft dough. Put your dough in a greased bowl and let rise for 2 hours. Punch down. Make into 8 balls. Dust a cookie sheet with corn meal or flour. Place balls on floured cookie sheet. Wet dishcloth or paper towel and place on top of balls and let rest for 20 minutes.

Roll your ball of dough out to 1/4" thick. Make sure you use plenty of flour so, your dough will not stick to rolling pin or your wax paper. Spray water on your bread. this helps to create your pocket in bread.

Place on a Baking Stone, Iron Skillet or an up side down cookie sheet(Lightly Oiled).

Place in hot oven at 450 degrees for 5 Minutes.

Cut your bread in half. Fill your Peta or Pocket bread with desired filling. This recipe it great for summer. It is light and yummy. I myself like to eat it by it self without any filling.
