      1 ea Recipe basic pita prepared
           -- as far as the kneading
    3/4 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Cold water
      1 c  Sesame seeds
 
  Shape kneaded dough into an even rectangle & cut in
  half lengthwise. Divide into 12 equal portions.  Shape
  each portion into a smooth ball & place on a floured
  surface.  Cover with damp towels & let rest in a warm
  place for 30 to
  45 minutes.
  15 minutes before they finish rising, preheat oven to
  425F & lightly grease a
  baking sheet.  Blend sugar with cold water until you
  have a thick paste. Add
  more water if necessary.  Set aside.
  Working on 2 balls at a time, press each ball flat.
  Roll out each round to a
  7" circle.  Place two rounds on the baking sheet.
  Spread the sugar paste evenly over the top of each
  round.  Sprinkle with 4 ts of sesame seeds. Press down
  to ensure that the seeds stick. Score each pita into 8
  wedges. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  Remove from oven,
  separate the wedges & cool on wire racks.  Note, these
  pitas do not puff.
