Greenlandic Pita

I love the internet! You can find so much stuff you never knew you wanted to know. The other day I wanted to make hummus and pita, but was out of yeast. I was out of lemon juice and tahini, too, but that's a post for another day. I found a recipe for baking powder pita that is said to have originated in Greenland. Here is my version.

2 c flour
1-1/3 c whole wheat flour
2 t baking powder
2 t salt
3 T oil
¾-1 c water

1. Mix together flours, baking powder, and salt.
2. Stir in oil and water.
3. Knead until smooth (about 5 minutes).
4. Allow dough to rest 20 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 480°F.
6. Divide into 8 balls. Roll each to 1/8" thickness.
7. Spray pitas with water.
8. Bake on pizza stone or greased cookie sheet 7-8 min. or until pitas begin to turn golden.
