Wholewheat pita recipe

I make this recipe with home ground white whole wheat.  I make these about every third day.  I am diabetic and the sourdough and whole grain don't raise my sugar levels as much.  Any I don't use I cut into wedges, spray with olive oil, lightly, and sprinkle with a little garlic salt and bake at 375 until starting to brown.

I don't have weights but here goes anyway.

Sour Dough White Whole Wheat Pitas

1/2 cup white whole wheat sourdough, 1/4 cup water, 1-1/2 tsp. agave, or honey, 1 cup white whole wheat, 3/4 tsp. salt, additional flour as needed while kneading.  Be careful not to add too much extra flour so your final pitas won't be dry. 

Knead dough, place in oiled bowl, cover, allow to double.  Divide into 3 equal sized balls, let rest 20 minutes.  Roll out into circles.  Rest 10 minutes and bake in hottest oven.  I have found that I save a lot of energy, since I make them so regularly, by cooking them on my cast iron round griddle pan.  They actually seem to split more evenly than when I make them in the oven.  As I take them off the griddle I place them between the folds of a tea towel, in a stack, and wrap any extra toweling around them until cool.  I then store in a sealed plastic bag. 

I use the chips I make from older pitas as crackers with cheese spreads , and hummus.  They are good with soup, too.  Terry
