HOMEMADE PITA BREAD 
1 pkg. yeast
1 1/4 c. lukewarm water
3 c. flour
2 tsp. salt

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Stir in flour and salt. Stir into a rough sticky ball. Knead on floured board until smooth, adding more flour if necessary. Divide into 6 balls. Knead each until smooth and round. Flatten each until 1/4 inch thick and 4-5 inches in diameter. Cover with towel and let rise 45 minutes. Arrange the rounds upside down on baking sheets.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until browned and puffed in center. Will be hard when removed from oven, but will soften and flatten as they cool. For sandwiches, split carefully and fill with sandwich makings.
