Pita

Ingredients
600 g cake flour
10 ml salt
15 ml sugar
30 ml oil
10 g instant yeast
450 ml warm water
extra flour for dusting

Method:
1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and knead to a smooth elastic dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size. 2. Dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut into circles about 12 cm in diameter using a small pot lid. 3. Place circles on baking paper and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Leave to rise for 10 minutes. 4. Transfer the pita to a cake cooling rack and place in a preheated 240 ºC oven to bake for ± 5 minutes. The pitas are cooked when they have puffed up. Remove from the oven before they turn brown and wrap in a tea towel to keep them soft. Makes 12.
