Pita Bread

Ingredients:
Flour - 2 Cups
Baking Powder - 2 Teaspoons
Salt - ½ Teaspoon
Water - ¾ Cup (room temperature)

Method:
  1. Add flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Knead while adding water gradually to make soft dough – only use water as needed.
  3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into four or six equal sized balls – depending on the size of your hot plate.
  5. Cover again with the damp cloth for 10-15 minutes – or up to two hours.
  6. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin according to the size of your hot plate.
  7. Cook on medium heat, flip it over and over using your fingers or a spatula.
  8. Place in a microwave, on paper towel, for thirty seconds or until it swells up.
  9. Serve hot with butter and cheese or with this delectable Avocado & Onion Dip. Enjoy!
