Whole Wheat Pita Bread recipe

12 servings

1 cup warm water

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

1 tablespoon molasses

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cups soy flour

cooking spray

cornmeal for dusting

In a bowl mix the water, yeast, molasses, and salt.

Let sit 5 to 10 minutes, then gradually mix in the whole wheat flour and soy flour.

Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth.

Place in a large bowl lightly coated with cooking spray.

Cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Punch down the dough, and knead for 5 to 10 minutes.

Divide into 6 pieces.

On a lightly floured surface, flatten each piece to about 1/8 inch thick with a rolling pin.

Cover with a towel, and let rise 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Warm a baking sheet in the preheating oven for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and sprinkle with cornmeal.

Arrange the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 6 minutes in the preheated oven.

Remove from heat and cover the bread with a moist towel to soften.

When cooled, slice in half and use a knife to cut pockets in the bread.
