I am not a chef... I am not a baker. I'm a wife and a mom and I have a hungry husband and one of my favorite things in life (other than these three boys) is making people delicious food and knowing I made them smile.

Wheat Pita Dough
2 1/2 c warm water (110 F)
1 1/2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
1 tbsp honey
2 c wheat flour
3 c white all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp veg oil or vegetable oil non stick spray
extra white flour as needed
Dissolve yeast in small bowl in warm water. Add honey and let sit 10-15 minutes until slightly frothy. Combine flours and salt in a large metal bowl. Make a depression in the center of the flours and slowly add yeast water. Stir with a wooden spoon until elastic and sticky. Place on a well floured surface and with floured hands knead 10-15 minutes until no longer sticky. Coat a large bowl with either 1 tsp of vegetable oil or with non stick spray. Allow to sit covered for 3 hrs-will come close to doubling in size. Separate into 10-12 balls. Preheat oven to 500 F and place rack at lowest setting. Roll each ball on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin until 5-6 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thickness. Bake 2 per cookie sheet at a time for 4 minutes until starts to puff and then flip and bake for another 2 minutes. Remove, cool on a cooling rack while the next 2 cook. May be stored in a plastic zip lock bag for up to a week in a bread box or refrigerator. Also can be stored in a freezer bag in the freezer for a month.
