Whole wheat Pita Bread Sandwich

Its so boring to eat the same thing over and over again... I thought of trying whole wheat pita bread which is healthy and tasty! And you can choose your fillings...

Ingredients:
2 cups Whole wheat flour
1 tsp dry yeast
1 cup luke warm water
Salt to taste

Method:
Take luke warm water and sprinkle the yeast over it. Leave in a draught-free place for 10-15 minutes. Once it is frothy, mix the yeast into the flour along with the salt and knead to a soft dough with water. Cover with cling film or a wet cloth and leave in a draught-free place for about an hour, to rise. Normally it rises to double the size. Divide the dough into 6-8 pieces and roll into flat or oval rounds.
Cook it on a regular nonstick pan over the fire till pitas puff and both sides are brown. Remove from heat and cover the bread with a moist towel to soften. When cooled, slice in half and use a knife to cut pockets in the bread.

Now the sandwich part:
You can use tomatoes, cucumber, paneer, chicken etc. It tastes great with sandwich fillings, peanut butter, or dipped in hummus or anything you fancy.

Isn't it yummy??
