Vegan Pita bread


Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup water
3/4 tsp salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Mix ingredients together, then knead for a few minutes. Dough should be soft, but not sticky. Add flour or water as needed. Set dough aside to rest for 15 minutes or so.
Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then, on a floured countertop, roll each piece into a very thin circle with a floured rolling pin. The thinner the better, but there should not be holes in it. Roll out 2 balls, then place them into the oven, directly on the rack. Do this as quickly as possible so the oven doesn’t lose heat. Bake for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes check the bread…it should be puffed up and dry looking. If it is not done, leave for 1 more minute. If it has turned brown and is crunchy, it is overcooked. You can still eat it and it is tasty, but cook the remaining breads for a shorter amount of time.
Remove the cooked breads and let oven come back up to 500 degrees (roll out 2 more circles while you are waiting). Repeat with remainder of dough.

You can do anything you feel like with those yummy pita breads. Add garlic to enhance the flavor. Cut the bread in two parts and put inside hummus, vegetable, tofu or eat it for breakfast by spreading jam on them. So easy and very cheap to make!
