Pita Bread

I actually really like to make bread. It always tastes so much better (with the exception of Rhodes, who knows what magical powers they hold). I have always meant to try this recipe with regular flour but just never have. I also only use the sesame seeds about half the time. It is good either way.

1 C. Warm water
1T. Dry yeast
1T. Honey
1 t. Salt
1 T. Oil
3 C. Wheat flour
Sesame seeds

Combine water, yeast, and homey. Set aside until yeast is dissolved and rises a little. Add salt and oil. Stir in wheat flour. Let rest, then knead. Let rise until double. Cut the dough in pieces about the size of a lemon and roll into balls. Sprinkle sesame seeds of the rolling board and roll the balls flat to about 1 inch thickness. Turn to get seeds on both sides. Preheat oven and cookie sheet to 450. Place the flattened pieces of dough on the cookie sheet (and remember its hot) Bake 4-5 minutes. While hot cut in half with a sharp knife. If pockets haven't formed slice with a knife while hot.
