Story of the World Co-op 1-15

I forgot to post this, for the week we studied the Phoenicians we made pita bread and it was SO GOOD and we ate it with honey butter. It’s a very easy recipe and a staple now for us, I’m trying to turn it into bread bowls for dinner tomorrow. It’s not like flat pita pockets, it’s more like the flat greek bread since it has yeast and does get puffy.

“Phoenician Bread”
6 cups flour
2 t salt
1T yeast
2 c warm water
1 T honey

Let the yeast dissolve in warm water, stir in honey then salt & flour, slowly. Stir until dough is stiff to mix.

Put dough on floured surface, knead 10 minutes and place in buttered bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or damp towel.

Let rise 2 hours, dough should double.

Punch down, divide into 10 balls.
Let rest 15 minutes, then shape into 6 or 7″ rounds (like mini pizza crusts.)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees, place dough on cookie sheet & bake 10 to 12 minutes on lowest rack in oven.
