Pita Bread

 I am currently on an eating plan that every few days tells me to stuff a pita with veggies for one of my snacks.  If I bought 8 pitas from the store it would cost $ 5.58, so I decided to make up a batch of my own.

Ingredients:  3 cups all purpose flour, 1.5 cups water and 1.5 Tbsp each of; yeast and salt.

Allow dough to rise for two hours.  Place your baking stone in the oven and heat to 500 degrees. 

When the oven is to temperature, take half of the raw dough and form it into one ball, then quarter that.  Roll out two pieces to 1/8 inch thickness.

Quickly transfer to the baking stone and close the oven, bake for 5 or 6 minutes depending on how much browning you like. While they are baking, roll out your other two quarters to get them ready.  Remove the finished pitas and bake the other pieces. 

Repeat with the other half of the raw dough to give you 8 pitas.

Approximate cost: Flour 26 cents; yeast 50; salt 4 = 80 cents for 8 pitas.
That is a savings of $ 4.78!
