Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Rachel Dayan for Expert Village now I'm going to show you how to prepare the dough into pitas and get it ready for baking. You can see that I waited and hour and 15 minutes and you can see that the dough doubled itself almost 2 1/2 it's size we take the dough out we put the bowl away and we're going to form it into a, we're going to roll it you can make in between 5 to 7 pitas and the the amount that you want the size of the pitas. You want it to be a kind of equal and cut them we're going to cut about 6 of them we're going to cut them into pieces after we cut them we're making a ball out of each of them. And then we're going to flatten the dough down, it should be 6 inches by 1/8" thick we're going to once we finish forming it we're going to put it in a pan and we're going to let it rise now for 1/2 hour before we put it in the oven. Again I'm going to cover it with plastic, plastic makes it sweat a little bit and that cause the yeast to rise quicker."
