    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1           teaspoon  sugar
       1/4         ounce  active dry yeast -- (1 pkg)
    2               cups  whole wheat flour
    1         tablespoon  olive oil
    2          teaspoons  salt
    1 1/4           cups  unbleached all-purpose flour

1. In lg bowl, mix 1 1/4C lukewarm water and sugar.  Sprinkle in 
yeast and let stand until foamy, 10 min.  With wooden spoon, 
gradually beat in whole wheat flour.  Beat about 2 min.  Stir in oil 
and salt.  Gradually beat in just enough all-purpose flour until the 
dough is too stiff to stir.

2. Turn dough out onto lighty floured surfce and knead, adding just 
enough flour to prevent sticking, until smooth and elastic, 5-10 
min.  (You can mix and knead dough in stand-up mixer fitted with 
paddle attachment, then dough hook.

3. Place dough in lightly oiled lg bowl and turn to coat.  Cover with 
plastic wrap and let rise at room temp until doubled in size, 1 1/2-2 hrs.

4. Place baking stone or inverted baking sheet on bottom rack of oven 
to heat.  Preheat oven to 500F.  (Heat baking stone for 25 min before 
baking; heat baking sheet for 10 min.

5. Punch dough down  Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead 
a few times.  Divide dough into 8 pcs.  Form each piece into a 
ball.  Cover with kitchen towel and let rest 20 min.

6. On lightly floured surface, use rolling pin to roll 2 pieces of 
dough into 7-7 1/2" circles, slightly less than 1/4" thick.  (Keep 
remaining dough pieces covered while you are working.)  Place dough 
on another baking sheet.

7. Working quickly, use wide metal spatula to transfer dough circles 
to heated baking stone.  Bake pita until puffed and lightly browned 
around the edges, 5-6 min.

8. Immediately wrap baked pitas in kitchen towel to keep them warm 
and soft.  While the first batch of pitas bakes, roll out 2 more 
dough circles.  Continue baking and rolling pitas until all dough is used.
