St. Peter’s Bread Recipe

  • Makes 4 Pita Size Loaves
  • Ingredients
    • 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
    • 7/8 cup lukewarm water (or a little more)
    • 5 tablespoons of honey
    • 2 ½ tablespoons of vegetable oil
    • ½ teaspoon of salt
    • 2 2/3 cups whole-wheat flour
    • ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • Combine yeast and water in a large bowl, stirring until yeast is dissolved. Add the honey, oil, and salt and set aside for five minutes.
  • Add the whole-wheat flour and beat for about five minutes, gradually adding all-purpose flour until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead for five minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic; add flour as necessary to reduce stickiness.
  • Lightly butter a large bowl. Place dough in bowl and turn to coat on all sides.
  • Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in bulk, 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease (or use non-stick) baking sheets.
  • Divide dough into 4 large balls. Press down and form pita bread type loaves. Cut crosses on the tops.
  • Bake for eleven minutes until golden brown and center is done. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Put in zip-lock bag and bring to church.
