Here is how you make Whole wheat pita, homemade:

Mix yeast with 1/2 cup warm water and let sit five minutes until bubbly.Whisk flour and salt to combine evenly.Add the rest of the water and oil and stir to make a moderately stiff dough. Knead five or more minutes until smooth and elastic.Place in oiled bowl, turn over, and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until double, about two hours. Deflate, turn, and rise until double again, about 90 minutes. Put baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 550F.Roll dough with your hands into a thick rope. Divide into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a 1/4-inch thick round.Working quickly, open the oven, place as many rounds as will fit on the baking sheet (I do three at a time), and close the oven. Bake about 2 minutes. They puff up after about a minute, then bake about a minute more. Remove to a cooling rack and continue with the next batch.Let cool completely--an hour or more--and seal in a ziploc bag. Keep in the refrigerator.Serving Size: 1 pieceNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MOYENAGE.
