Pita Bread For The Breadmaker - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/4 cups milk (I used water)
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    3 cups bread machine flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon bread machine yeast
Preparation
    Place the ingredients in your breadmaker as follows: milk, oil, salt, sugar, flour and yeast. Or, follow the recommendations of the manufacturer.
    Select the dough cycle.
    Once the dough is made let it rest for 10 minutes. I let mine rest in the machine.
    Divide dough into 10 balls.On a floured surface, roll each ball to approximately a 6 inch circle.
    Place on a greased cookie sheet(s).
    Brush each with a little oil and cover and let rise for about 30 minutes or until slightly risen.
    Once risen lightly oil the top again.
    Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for approximately 5-7 minutes(mine took an extra 2 minutes).
    The original recipe calls for the pita to be turned half way through baking, but I found this unnecessary.
    Cool on a rack.
    Makes ten pita.
