Ingredients:
• 2 cups – white whole-Wheat flour (can substitute with regular whole Wheat flour)
• 1 cup – all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp – Sugar
• 1 tbsp – Olive oil
• 1 tbsp – salt
• 4 tsp – active Dry yeast
• Warm water (about 1.25 cups)
Method:
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together all the ingredients.
- Knead into a smooth dough, and continue kneading by hand, or on low speed in a stand mixer, for about 10 minutes.
- Place in a bowl coated with olive oil, turning over once so that the dough is coated with oil.
- Keep in a warm place to rise, about 2 hours, until doubled in volume.
- Now punch down the dough and divide into 8 pieces. Roll into balls, cover with a kitchen towel, and allow the balls to rest about 20 minutes.
- Roll each ball into a dough around 7 inches in diameter. Try to roll evenly so the pita will rise in the oven, making a perfect pocket.
- Place a pizza stone or unglazed ceramic tile in the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees.
- Spritz the pizza stone with water and, after 30 seconds, place as many pitas as you can on the stone without overlapping.
- Leave alone for 3 minutes. The pitas should puff up.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. The pita should now deflate. If, for some reason, it doesn’t, put it in a microwave for 30 seconds after it has cooled down it softens the pita and does the trick.
- Stuff with falafel and fresh vegetables.
