Whole Wheat Tortillas/Pita Bread

[mum06]

Anyone have a recipe for either of these?

I have made this recipe a few times, I usually use half white half whole wheat flour. Next time though I will try with all white wheat flour. Also I am never able to open them as good as the store bought ones so usually I just put whatever I want in the pita on top and fold it in half, like a taco. And I always need water that is about 115-120 degrees (I use a digital meat thermometer) to get my yeat to bubble, maybe because I keep my yeast in the freezer so it cools the water once I add it. Anyway hope this helps.

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 Cups warm water
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Teaspoons yeast, or 1 packet
3 Cups flour
1 2/2 Teaspoon salt
Oil

1. Dissovle sugar in water, add yeast. Wait for mixture to bubble/foam
2. In a mixing bowl, mix flour and salt. Add water mixture. Mix until a ball is formed, add more water or flour if necessary. Dough should hold together but not be sticky/wet.
3. Kneed the dough for aprox. 10 minutes on a floured work surface.
4. Lightly coat a clean bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl and cover with damp towel. Let rise for 90 minutes or until double in size.
5. Devide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, cover with damp towel and let rest for 20 minutes. (If your dough is easy to work with you may skip the rest period).
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
7. On a lightly floured surface stretch and roll each dough ball out as flat as you can, between 1/8 and 1/4 vinch thick.
8. Place as many pitas on the hot baking surface as you can. They should be puffy and completely baked after 3 minutes.
