Home made Pita Bread
I'd like to make Pita Bread tonight to go with dinner, does anyone have a recipe?
And, I'd like to start the dough and let it rise while we are exercising, would that be ok?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I've never made pitta bread before, but I might borrow the recipe if anyone pops one in the com box :)
God Bless.
i wish i could help... sounds delish.
Laurel's Kitchen Bread book....my answer to just about any bread-related question. ;-) This is too late for your dinner tonight....but for next time, your baking stone is perfect to cook pita on. You can adjust the rising times to suit your schedule....but the basic recipe takes 1 1/2 hours to rise the first time, 45 minutes to rise the second time, and then you intensively work on shaping, rolling, and baking the pita until you're done.
Here's my blog post I did about homemade pita:

Unfortunately, I lost the picture I had up of the pita. It truly is delicious, and last Lent I made three loaves' worth of pita at the beginning of Lent and put it in the freezer, thinking it'd last a while. Uh, it lasted about a week, maybe....
ooh sounds good :)
paul, my husband, makes the best homemade pita bread. and like pres. elizabeth, we freeze it. but his recipe is at home. i will email it to you whenever we "move" back home:)
I was just about to post about the Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book (which I bought yesterday, after a using the regular Laurel's Kitchen cookbook since I was 12. Both are my FAVORITE cookbooks, with the possible exception of The New Book of Middle Eastern Food - my cooking BIBLE), but saw that Elizabeth beat me to it!
I plan on making pita sometime soon - maybe one of these days you can come over after church and we'll try our hand at it :)
The best I've had comes from, I think, Cook's Illustrated- but it's got yogurt in it, so not a Lenten recipe really.
You make it on the stovetop in a cast-iron skillet. It's absolutely divine. I'll dig up the recipe if you like!
