Oriental pocket bread. Recipe based on this.
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
2 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp oil
6 cups flour (I use 2 whole wheat, 4 regular)
Instructions:
In a big mixing bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in the water (which should be warm but not quite hot to the touch).
Once the yeast is bubbly, add salt, oil & flour. Mix with a spoon, then knead until the dough is of uniform consistency. It should be soft, but not sticky. Add flour/water as necessary.
Let rise at least twice. I let the dough rise overnight in the fridge.
Split into 16 pieces and flatten out, 4 to a baking sheet. A rolling pin works well.
Let rise again, then bake at 450F for 10 minutes, swapping the sheets half way through.
