So easy to make your own pita pockets, and even EASIER to do it in the bread machine! Kids love these for car trips or picnics; can't help but feel adventurous with one of these in the lunch box! NOTE: If you don't have a bread machine, you can STILL make this recipe...see DIRECTIONS at the bottom. COOKING TIME includes rising time

SERVES 10 , 10 pockets (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 cups white flour
1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Directions

1
Place the above ingredients into the bread machine according to owner's manual specifications (mine does wet ingredients first).
2
Program for DOUGH or MANUAL.
3
After the program is completed, divide dough into 10 equal pieces; shape each into a smooth ball; place five on each baking sheet.
4
Let rise for 20 minutes while oven preheats to 500; flatten puffy balls gently into a 6-inch disk.
5
Bake for five minutes (tops will be puffed and beginning to brown).
6
Cut each circle in half to form two pockets.
7
Fill with your favorite sandwich fixin's: ham, turkey, chicken salad, lettuce, sprouts, cheese and grapes.
8
TRADITIONAL BREAD-MAKING: In a mixing bowl, mix water, sugar and yeast; allow to foam for 3-5 minutes; add oil and salt, mixing well; mix white & wholewheat flours together in a separate bowl, then add to liquids, mixing until well-blended. Place dough-ball in a well-greased bowl, allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume. Continue from Step #3 above.

As my Norwegian ancestors would say "Tusen Takk" which means "a thousand thanks". I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this. I was especially happy to have some WW flour in the pita breads. Being on a diet, the next time I will make the pitas smaller thus lower in calories. They were so easy to make and they looked good enough to take a picture of! Tusen Takk again for sharing this great recipe.

These are terrific, it is a hot day here, and I wasn't sure how these would do with the higher humidity~ but this turned out well. I have trouble with making the "pockets" too. When this happens, I just cut in half, and slice the inside carefully~and make my own pocket. I used the bread maker for the dough part/and baked in my real nice miniature oven, as not to get the kitchen overly hot. Also, decreased the whole wheat flour by 1/3 cups, added bread flour instead. Thanks Debber for another fabulous recipe!

I loved that this recipe was for the bread machine. After the beep I portioned the dough and shaped into circles on parchment paper. They rose up beautifully and it was a shame to flatten them. A few of the pitas did not have the open center, but most did. I loaded the pitas with Chicken Bites With Spice and the next day used them for Onion and Chive Pitas. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Reviewed for ZWT 3.
