Do you remember when everyone use to make fun of Barney the Dinosaur? I always thought that I would never let my kids watch what I thought was such an annoying show. Well...... my kids actually own one. Anyways in this video there is a song where Barney sings about different kinds of breads, and there is a verse that goes. Pita Pocket Pita Pocket Yum Yum Pita Pocket. This is what Ariana sings when I decide to bake pita pockets. I love making Pita Pockets. They are so easy to make, and this may be the little girl in me, but I love that its a pocket. Here is the recipe "Yum Yum Pita Pocket."
1 1/8 C of warm water
3 C all purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons of white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- Place all ingredientes in bread pan of your bread machine, select dough.
-When done turn dough on lightly floured surface. Make little balls, and then roll out with rolling pin to about a 6-7 inch circle. Let pitas rise for about 30min.
-Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place 2-3 pitas on a wire cake rack. Place cake rack directly on oven rack. Bake pitas for 4-5 minutes until puffed and tops begin to brown. Remove from oven and immediately place pitas in a sealed brown paper bag, or cover them with a damp kitchen towel. This helps them stay soft. Once they are softened just cut in half, and stuff them with whatever your heart desires.
