Kamut Pita Bread
- Ready In:
- 1hr 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
8 Pitas
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 cup warmed milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1⁄4 cups kamut flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour (have an xtr 1/2 C on hand while mixing)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons yeast
directions
- Place Butter, Warm milk salt and honey in bread machine.
- Add Kamut flour first, then AP flour, making a well in the center for the yeast and add yeast.
- Set on Dough cycle and start. Check dough after first 5 minutes or so to make sure the dough is the proper consistency. Add extra AP flour or Water as needed a Tablespoon at a time until the dough is smoothe and not sticky.
- When the dough cycle finishes, allow the dough to rest in the machine 30 minutes.
- Then place on well floured surface and separate the dough into 8 equal pieces.(I use a Bench Knife)
- Roll each piece into a circle approximately 1/8" thick.
- While rolling, allow your oven to preheat to 450 degrees and place a baking stone or pizza stone on the next to bottom shelf. (I like to let mine preheat for at least half an hour! I want the stone HOT!).
- If the dough springs back, cover with a clean kitchen cloth and let it rest 10 minutes and then try again.
- When finished rolling, place dough 2 at a time (depending on how much space you have on your stone) and bake for approximately 2 1/2 minutes, then flip and bake 2 minutes on other side, or until bread is light brown. The Pitas should puff up during the first part of baking. Allow them to cool a few minutes before storing in an airtight container. Make sure they are NOT HOT or they will sweat and be gooey. Enjoy!

<p>I am a travel Nurse and have been a bread baker for more than 30 years. I speak Arabic and LOVE learning to cook different Ethnic foods. I am pretty much focused oin breads right now and bake most of the breads my family uses. Don't get me wrong...I HAVE made loaves that even the ducks wouldn't eat, so I am ALWAYS working to do better. I am currently working on a Lite White bread that is alot like Store Bought breads. I also make our Yogurt and will be starting to grind my own grains. I come from a LOOOONG line of FINE Southern cooks, and love learning more and more!!</p>
