Pita Bread for the Breadmaker

I found this at the BHG website. The recipe calls for milk but I made them with water and they turned out fine. I also found that while the cooking time given was 5-7 minutes, it took mine an extra 2 minutes to brown.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 45 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 10 pita

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 cups milk (I used water)
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 3  cups bread machine flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons sugar
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon bread machine yeast

Directions

1. Place the ingredients in your breadmaker as follows: milk, oil, salt, sugar, flour and yeast. Or, follow the recommendations of the manufacturer.
2. Select the dough cycle.
3. Once the dough is made let it rest for 10 minutes. I let mine rest in the machine.
4. Divide dough into 10 balls.On a floured surface, roll each ball to approximately a 6 inch circle.
5. Place on a greased cookie sheet(s).
6. Brush each with a little oil and cover and let rise for about 30 minutes or until slightly risen.
7. Once risen lightly oil the top again.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for approximately 5-7 minutes(mine took an extra 2 minutes).
9. The original recipe calls for the pita to be turned half way through baking, but I found this unnecessary.
10. Cool on a rack.
11. Makes ten pita.
