Pita bread

[DaveA]

Well I had to go and dig out this old recipe that works all the time.
This will make 2 loafs of bread or two pans of dinners rolls, or cinnamon or pineapple rolls.

5-6 cups of flour ¼ cup oil
2 cups hot water 2 packets of dry yeast
1 Tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoon of salt
In a large bowl add 2 cups of flour, yeast, salt sugar. Add oil to hot water. Mix well into the dry mixture – stir well, keep adding flour until satiny.
Let raise (covered) about 30 minutes.
Roll out dough, cut out rolls or whatever you want to make.
Let it raise 20-30 minutes
Bake at 425 Degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Prepare the dough night before and let the rolls raise over night in the frig, and bake them the next morning for fresh hot rolls with your coffee or hot chocolate.

Mix well into the dry mixture – stir well, keep adding flour until satiny.

So you add enough flour so you'll be able to sink yourself down into the dough as if it were your satiny sheets

I've made enough cinnamon rolls that I can improvise the filling for those, but I'd be very interested in having your interpretation of pineapple rolls, Dave. Pretty please? I love pineapple, but I never before thought to use it as an ingredient in a breakfast roll.

Roll out dough, spread melted butter or oil, sprinkle with sugar and the spread a can of "Drained" crushed pineapple. Roll up and slice, place in pans, and let raise. Cook as you would a cinnamon roll.

As a topping, just some powered sugar and water and drizzle over the pan of rolls. Best serve hot, but are keepers for a few days and one can "Nuke em" to get some of the fresh flavor back.

Thanks, Dave! I know what we're having for breakfast Sunday morning!

One can always add raisins or nuts to these rolls per one's own taste.
I never use raisins, as I can not stand them.

Looking at the amount of work involved I can see what it means :grin;
