FOR WHOLE WHEAT PITA
Next time i make it, i'll put up pictures
In a bowl combine the yeast, molasses, and warm water; stir the mixture and then let the yeast stand for about 7-10mins or until foamy.
Add the salt to the flour and mix.
Stir in the salted flour into the yeast mixture. Add the flour, a little at a time, until all the flour has been added and forms a thick dough and you can roll it into a ball.
Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead with your knuckles until it's smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a bowl you have already greased with a bit of oil. roll the dough around the bowl to coat it with the oil and then and cover with a wet towel. Allow to rise until double in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 500 deg F.
remove the towel and divide the dough into 8 pieces, and gather each piece into a ball. Cover them up again for about 10mins.
Then roll out each little dough ball into a circle with a rolling pin. Make sure the circle is completely smooth, with no creases or seams in the dough, which can prevent the pitas from puffing up properly.
Put the pita dough circle in the over and bake for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bread puffs up like a balloon and is pale golden. Watch closely coz they bake fast. Remove the bread from the oven and place on a surface to cool for 5 minutes; they will naturally deflate, leaving a pocket in the center. Wrap the pitas in a large kitchen towel to keep them soft.
and voila you're ready to eat them. It seems tedious, but it's not, it's just a calculated process.
