Ingredients

  • 1 cup warmed milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/4 cups kamut flour
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (have an xtr 1/2 c on hand while mixing)

Recipe

  • 1 place butter, warm milk salt and honey in bread machine.
  • 2 add kamut flour first, then ap flour, making a well in the center for the yeast and add yeast.
  • 3 set on dough cycle and start. check dough after first 5 minutes or so to make sure the dough is the proper consistency. add extra ap flour or water as needed a tablespoon at a time until the dough is smoothe and not sticky.
  • 4 when the dough cycle finishes, allow the dough to rest in the machine 30 minutes.
  • 5 then place on well floured surface and separate the dough into 8 equal pieces.(i use a bench knife)
  • 6 roll each piece into a circle approximately 1/8" thick.
  • 7 while rolling, allow your oven to preheat to 450 degrees and place a baking stone or pizza stone on the next to bottom shelf. (i like to let mine preheat for at least half an hour! i want the stone hot!).
  • 8 if the dough springs back, cover with a clean kitchen cloth and let it rest 10 minutes and then try again.
  • 9 when finished rolling, place dough 2 at a time (depending on how much space you have on your stone) and bake for approximately 2 1/2 minutes, then flip and bake 2 minutes on other side, or until bread is light brown. the pitas should puff up during the first part of baking. allow them to cool a few minutes before storing in an airtight container. make sure they are not hot or they will sweat and be gooey. enjoy!
