Whole Wheat Pita Bread
7 steps
Prep:2hCook:20min
Pita bread is probably my favorite type of bread. They're specifically designed for sandwiches, taste great, and are light and fluffy. This whole wheat variety shares all those qualities, while adding some extra fiber and removing heavily processed white flour. My favorite use is for a grilled chicken Greek salad sandwich, which you can find the recipe for below.

Turn dough onto the non floured counter and knead for ~8 minutes. Let rest for 3 minutes, then shape into a ball. Return to the bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour (should be about doubled in size)
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 500F. Turn dough onto the surface and divide into 10 pieces, ~90 g each. Roll each into a smooth ball, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes
Step 5
Using a rolling pin (or your hands) roll each ball to about ¼ inch thick. Place 3 onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake for 4-5 minutes. For even better results, bake the pitas on a preheated pizza stone instead
