This makes 8 whole pitas.
*1 1/4c. warm water
*1 TBSP. oil
*1 tsp. salt
*2 tsp. sugar
*2 3/4c. whole wheat flour
*1/3 c. gluten
*1 1/2 tsp. yeast
Combine water, oil, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Add yeast, 1 cup flour and gluten and stir until well combined. Add the remaining flour and knead to make a soft dough, adding a little more flour if necessary.
Put the dough in a bowl, lightly coat the top of dough with oil, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double (about 1 hour).
Punch down and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 equal pieces.
Let rise for 25-35 minutes until puffy...but they will still be thin.
Preheat oven to 500. Place 2 rounds (mine fit 3) on a cooling rack. Place rack in the middle of oven and bake for 4-5 minutes, until puffy and slightly browned. You'll want to watch these through the oven door...and your kids will love watching what these flat little rounds do in the oven.
Remove rack from oven and immediately wrap pitas in a damp towel to soften while baking the remaining bread.
We had a few of these right out of the oven with some fresh hummus.
