whole wheat pita bread


These are great filled with ham and cheese, avocado and turkey, hummus and veggies, or even refried beans with cheese, tomatoes and lettuce.
Preheat pizza stone to 500 degrees
In Bosch bowl with dough hook, combine ingredients.
2 cups hot water, 2 Tbsp. honey, 1Tbsp salt, 4 ½ cups freshly ground whole wheat flour (add a little wheat germ if on hand), 2 Tbsp Instant Yeast

Add flour until dough cleans sides of bowl. Add back in 2-4 Tbsp water. Knead for 5 minutes. Form into 7 balls. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Roll out to ¼ inch think on a pizza paddle covered with cornmeal. Roll from center
(like a tortilla). Try not to get your fingerprints in the dough. Let rise about 10-12 minutes. Transfer gently with long spatula to preheated pizza stone. Bake directly on pizza stone for 5-7 minutes. While warm, store in a zip-lock bag or plastic container to keep pita bread soft.
