Homemade Pita Bread

from Joy of Cooking

Here's a pic of the pitas I made and filled with the cucumber yogurt salad!

Ingredients:
3 cups flour

1 1/2 Tbs sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

4 tsp yeast

2 Tbs melted butter

1 1/4 c warm water

Directions:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add the water and butter. Mix to combine.
2. Knead for 10 minutes by hand, or on medium speed in the mixer using a dough hook. The dough should be a little tacky, but not sticky. Add flour or water to get the right consistency.
3. Oil a bowl, roll the dough around to cover in the oil. Put plastic wrap on top and let the dough sit for about 2 hours.
4. Punch the dough down. Divide it into 8 small balls. Cover with a dish towel and let them rest for 20 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Turn a baking sheet upside down to use as a cooking surface. Roll out each of the 8 balls until they are about 8 inches in diameter and 1/8 of an inch thick.
6. When the oven is hot, spray some water on the baking sheet. Wait 30 seconds. Put the dough on the baking sheet
7. Cook pitas until they inflate into a balloon, about 3 minutes. Wait 30 seconds and take them out of the oven.
