      Title: Pizza Or Pita Bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 12 Pitas

      1 tb Yeast
    1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 c  Water; warm
  2 3/4 c  Unbleached flour
      1 c  Water; warm
    3/4 c  Cake flour
      1 ts Sugar

  In a medium bowl, sprinkle yeast over 3/4 cup warm water and let
  soften. Stir in additional water, sugar, salt and flours with a
  wooden spoon, mixing until well blended.

  Turn the dough out onto a floured board and dust lightly with flour.
  Knead about 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary to make dough
  smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl; turn dough to grease
  top. Cover let rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.

  Punch dough down and let rise again for about 1/2 hour. Turn onto a
  floured surface and knead again lightly. Divide dough into 3 equal
  portions for pizza, or 12 portions for pita bread. Shape each into a
  ball and roll until very flat, 12" for pizzas or 6" for pitas. Place
  on floured baking sheets.

  For pitas, heat oven to 450 F and bake for 5 to 10 minutes. For
  pizzas, top with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and any other desired
  toppings, and bake at 425 F until browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

  Makes 3 pizzas or 12 pitas.
