    Title: Pizza Or Pita Bread
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 12 Pitas

    1 tb Yeast
    1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 c Water; warm
    2 3/4 c Unbleached flour
    1 c Water; warm
    3/4 c Cake flour
    1 ts Sugar

    In a medium bowl, sprinkle yeast over 3/4 cup warm water and let
    soften. Stir in additional water, sugar, salt and flours with a
    wooden spoon, mixing until well blended.

    Turn the dough out onto a floured board and dust lightly with flour.
    Knead about 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary to make dough
    smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl; turn dough to grease
    top. Cover let rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.

    Punch dough down and let rise again for about 1/2 hour. Turn onto a
    floured surface and knead again lightly. Divide dough into 3 equal
    portions for pizza, or 12 portions for pita bread. Shape each into a
    ball and roll until very flat, 12" for pizzas or 6" for pitas. Place
    on floured baking sheets.

    For pitas, heat oven to 450 F and bake for 5 to 10 minutes. For
    pizzas, top with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and any other desired
    toppings, and bake at 425 F until browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

    Makes 3 pizzas or 12 pitas.
