Description
We made this recipe for Vacation Bible School and used strawberry or grape jam to fill them. These loaves are just like pita bread but they’re rolled into a square shape.
Ingredients
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 6 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl
- dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy
- about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl
- combine the yeast mixture with the 3 cups flour and the salt. Stir in the remaining flour
- 1/2 cup at a time
- beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together
- turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple
- about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl
- place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume
- about 2 hours. Meanwhile
- preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Divide the dough into sixteen equal pieces and form into rounds. Roll rounds into square loaves 1/4 inch thick. Place the on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 4 to 5 minutes
- until loaves puff in the middle. Let cool on a wire rack.
