    | 1. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey and stir until dissolved. Let sit for 10-15 minutes until water is frothy. | 2. Combine white flour, wheat flour, and salt in large bowl. | 3. Make a small depression in the middle of flour and pour yeast water in depression. | 4. Slowly add warm yeast water, and stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula until dough becomes elastic. | 5. You can also do step 1-4 using the knead function in a Kitchen Aid. | 6. Place dough on floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes. When the dough is no longer sticky and is smooth and elastic, it has been successfully kneaded. | 7. Coat large bowl with vegetable oil and place dough in bowl. Turn dough upside down so all of the dough is coated with oil. Allow to sit, covered, in a warm place for about 3 hours OR until it has doubled in size. | 8. Once doubled, roll out in a rope, and pinch off 10-12 small pieces. Place balls on floured surface. Let sit covered for 10 minutes. | 9. Preheat oven to 500 deg F. and make sure rack is at the very bottom of oven. Be sure to also preheat your baking sheet. | 10. Roll out each ball of dough with a rolling pin into circles. Each should be about 5-6 inches across and 1/4 inch thick. | 11. Bake each circle for 4 minutes until the bread puffs up. Turn over and bake for 2 minutes. | 12. Remove each pita with a spatula from the baking sheet and add additional pitas for baking. | 13. Take spatula and gently push down puff. Immediately place in storage bags. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
