Pita Bread

I am starting off my bread making project with pita bread. 
Pita bread is a Middle Eastern flat bread. The Arabic name for pita bread is khubz, which means ordinary bread. Pita bread is eaten in many different countries and is especially popular in Greece, Israel, Syria, and Egypt.
The ingredients in pita bread are yeast, flour, water, salt, and oil. The pocket in the pita is created by steam which puffs up the dough. 
I am going to experiment with two different recipes. One which is made using only white all-purpose flour and another which is made using a mixture of whole weat and white all-purpose flour.
