Pizza/Pita

• 1 cup water

• heat in microwave for 1 minute.

• 1 tsp salt
• 1 TBSP sugar
• 1 TBSP dry yeast
• 1 TBSP oil

• Place salt, sugar, yeast and oil in foodprocessor and add luke warm water and 1 cup of the flour and process to mix

• 2½ cups flour

• Now add another cup flour and mix. Keep on adding flour until they dough doesn’t stick to the blade any longer.
• Remove from food processor bowl and place in a greased bowl and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place. (I usually put it in the microwave for 11 seconds and leave it in there)

Pizza Sauce
Toppings
Mozzarella cheese

• PREHEAT OVEN TO 375°F
• After dough has risen, punch down and knead to get all the air out.
• Roll out on a flour board and transfer to pizza pan.
• Spread pizza sauce on dough.
• Place toppings on top of pizza sauce.
• Cover with mozzarella chesse.
• Put in the middle of the oven for about 18 minutes or until cheese bubbles.

• After pizza is assembled place in cold oven on bottom rung.
• Turn on oven to 500°F
• Bake for about 18 minutes or until cheese bubbles. (For this version I use a pizza pan that has little holes in it all over).

4 unglazed ceramic tiles

a small wooden board (piece of plywood will do)

• Divide dough into 8 parts and roll into balls.
• Roll out each ball to about 8 inches and place on floured board.
• Let rise for about ½ hour.
• Preheat oven to 500°F (I place 4 brown, unglazed ceramic tiles on the buttom rung as baking sheet).
• Carefully transfer 4 pitas on piece of plywood to the oven and watch them rise and balloon. After about 5 minutes they are slightly browned and won’t balloon up any longer. Immediately remove them from the oven.
• Place on a board or plate and cover with waxpaper a kitchen towel. (When they come out of the oven they are quite hard, this will soften them).
• Put second batch in oven.
