Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl add 1 cup lukewarm water and stir in yeast and sugar until dissolved. Add 1/2 cup flour and whisk together. Place the mixing bowl in a warm place, uncovered to form a lose sponge. Give it 15 minutes or so, the mixture should bubble.
- Now add salt, olive oil and almost all the remaining flour (keep about 1/2 cup of the flour for dusting later). Stir until mixture forms a shaggy mass (at this point, the dough has little to no gluten development and just looks like a sticky mess and you can easily pull bits off). Dust with a little flour, then knead the mixture inside the bowl for about a minute to incorporate any stray bits.
- Dust a clean working surface with just a little bit of flour. Knead lightly for a couple minutes or so until smooth. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then knead again for a couple more minutes. The dough should be a little bit moist, you can help it with a little dusting of flour, but be careful not to add too much flour.
- Clean the mixing bowl and coat it lightly with extra virgin olive oil and put the dough back in the bowl. Turn the dough a couple times in the bowl to coat with the olive oil. Cover the mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap then lay a kitchen towel over. Put the bowl in a warm place. Leave it alone for 1 hour or until the dough rises to double its size.
- Deflate the dough and place it on a clean work surface. Divide the dough into 7 to 8 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Cover with a towel and leave them for 10 minutes or so to rest.
- Using a floured rolling pin, roll one of the pieces into a circle that's 8-9 inches wide and about a quarter inch thick. It helps to lift and turn the dough frequently as you roll so that dough doesn't stick to your counter too much. (If dough starts to stick, sprinkle a tiny bit of flour). If the dough starts to spring back, set it aside to rest for a few minutes, then continue rolling. Repeat with the other pieces of dough. (Once you get going, you can be cooking one pita while rolling another, if you like). You have two options for baking the pita from here.
- Heat the oven to 475 degrees F and place a heavy-duty baking pan or large cast iron skillet on the middle rack to heat. Working in batches, place the rolled-out pitas directly on the hot baking baking sheet (I was only able to fit 2 at a time). Bake for 2 minutes on one side, and then, using a pair of tongs, carefully turn pita over to bake for 1 minute on the other side. The pita will puff nicely and should be ready. Remove from the oven and cover the baked pitas with a clean towel while you work on the rest of the pitas.
- To cook pita on stovetop: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. (Test by adding a couple drops of water to the skillet, the skillet is ready when the beads of water sizzle immediately). Drizzle a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil and wipe off any excess. Working with one pita at a time, lay a rolled-out pita on the skillet and bake for 30 seconds, until bubbles start to form. Using a spatula, flip the pita over and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side, until large toasted spots appear on the underside. Flip again and cook another 1-2 minutes to toast the other side. The pita is ready when it puffs up forming a pocket (sometimes, with this method, the pita may not puff or may only form a small pocket. Try pressing the surface of the pita gently with a clean towel). Keep baked pita covered with a clean towel while you work on the rest.

KAMUT PITA BREAD
Kamut is an ancient Egyptian grain used in the time of the Pharohs and is high in protien. If you replace Kamut for Wheat, it should be done 7/8 cup of Kamut to 1 cup of Whole Wheat. It has a delicious earthy flavor and makes this a delicious alternative to "Store Bought" Pita bread!! And I used the Bread Machine to make the dough!

Steps:
- Place Butter, Warm milk salt and honey in bread machine.
- Add Kamut flour first, then AP flour, making a well in the center for the yeast and add yeast.
- Set on Dough cycle and start. Check dough after first 5 minutes or so to make sure the dough is the proper consistency. Add extra AP flour or Water as needed a Tablespoon at a time until the dough is smoothe and not sticky.
- When the dough cycle finishes, allow the dough to rest in the machine 30 minutes.
- Then place on well floured surface and separate the dough into 8 equal pieces.(I use a Bench Knife)
- Roll each piece into a circle approximately 1/8" thick.
- While rolling, allow your oven to preheat to 450 degrees and place a baking stone or pizza stone on the next to bottom shelf. (I like to let mine preheat for at least half an hour! I want the stone HOT!).
- If the dough springs back, cover with a clean kitchen cloth and let it rest 10 minutes and then try again.
- When finished rolling, place dough 2 at a time (depending on how much space you have on your stone) and bake for approximately 2 1/2 minutes, then flip and bake 2 minutes on other side, or until bread is light brown. The Pitas should puff up during the first part of baking. Allow them to cool a few minutes before storing in an airtight container. Make sure they are NOT HOT or they will sweat and be gooey. Enjoy!

KAMUT FLOUR BREAD
Kamut is higher in protein and many minerals, especially selenium, zinc, and magnesium than other wheat products. If you have gluten intolerance, and avoid wheat, you may be able to eat some forms Kamut. However, as it is a wheat species, it is unsuitable for those with coeliac disease.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in your baking pan in order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. Set for "whole wheat" and ordinary browning.
- Don't omit the corn starch. Kamut has relatively no gluten so the bread will turn out too crumbly to slice without the addition of some sort of thickening agent.

HOMEMADE PITA BREAD
Is it worth making pita at home? Absolutely. Store-bought pita (like store-bought sandwich bread) is often several days old. Warm, fragrant home-baked pita is obviously superior, and there's a bit of a thrill when the breads puff up in the oven. And once you get the hang of it, it's not difficult. For the best flavor, try to get freshly milled whole-wheat flour. Even though only a little is called for in the recipe, it makes a difference.

Steps:
- Make sponge: Put 1 cup lukewarm water in a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and sugar. Stir to dissolve. Add the whole-wheat flour and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and whisk together. Put bowl in a warm (not hot) place, uncovered, until mixture is frothy and bubbling, about 15 minutes.
- Add salt, olive oil and nearly all remaining all-purpose flour (reserve 1/2 cup). With a wooden spoon or a pair of chopsticks, stir until mixture forms a shaggy mass. Dust with a little reserved flour, then knead in bowl for 1 minute, incorporating any stray bits of dry dough.
- Turn dough onto work surface. Knead lightly for 2 minutes, until smooth. Cover and let rest 10 minutes, then knead again for 2 minutes. Try not to add too much reserved flour; the dough should be soft and a bit moist. (At this point, dough may refrigerated in a large zippered plastic bag for several hours or overnight. Bring dough back to room temperature, knead into a ball and proceed with recipe.)
- Clean the mixing bowl and put dough back in it. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap, then cover with a towel. Put bowl in a warm (not hot) place. Leave until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 475 degrees. On bottom shelf of oven, place a heavy-duty baking sheet, large cast-iron pan or ceramic baking tile. Punch down dough and divide into 8 pieces of equal size. Form each piece into a little ball. Place dough balls on work surface, cover with a damp towel and leave for 10 minutes.
- Remove 1 ball (keeping others covered) and press into a flat diskc with rolling pin. Roll to a 6-inch circle, then to an 8-inch diameter, about 1/8 inch thick, dusting with flour if necessary. (The dough will shrink a bit while baking.)
- Carefully lift the dough circle and place quickly on hot baking sheet. After 2 minutes the dough should be nicely puffed. Turn over with tongs or spatula and bake 1 minute more. The pita should be pale, with only a few brown speckles. Transfer warm pita to a napkin-lined basket and cover so bread stays soft. Repeat with the rest of the dough balls.

KAMUT FLOUR BREAD FOR BREAD MACHINE (WHEAT-FREE)
I spent months developing a tasty (and easy) wheat-free bread recipe, and this is my final product. This recipe also works really nicely with spelt flour, but I'm almost as allergic to spelt as I am to wheat and, of course, spelt is not gluten-free. I'm pretty sure kamut is. Please let me know if anyone has success making this recipe with any other alternate grain flours. The xanthan gum is a critical element to provide "slice-ability" without the bread crumbling apart.

Steps:
- Combine the first three dry ingredients (flour, salt, xanthan gum).
- Combine the liquid ingredients (oil, honey, water) in a microwaveable bowl. Warm in microwave using 30 second increments until you can mix the liquids. Do not overheat - warm to the touch is best - hot water will kill the yeast.
- Add the liquid ingredients, dry ingredients, and yeast in the order specified by your bread machine manufacturer (mine is liquid on bottom, dry next, and yeast on top).
- Use a basic bread and light crust setting.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix the flour and water. Cover to autolyse for 1-2 hours.
- Add the starter and salt to the dough, pinching and kneading to incorporate the additions. Cover and let rest for 30-40 minutes.
- After the rest, begin a series of stretching and folding every 20-30 minutes. I did six stretch and folds for the all-Kamut and the 40%, and four for the 20% Kamut.
- Cover and let bulk ferment for a total of 6-12 hours from when you added the leaven. The time will depend on your room temperature. (My all-Kamut fermented 9.5 hours at 75 F. The 40% fermented 11 hours, 3 hours at 76 F and 8 hours at 64 F. The 20% fermented 10 hours at 72 F.)
- Scrape the dough onto a well floured surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour and stretch/press it into a rectangular shape. Fold it in thirds and then in half as per this video.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes while you prep a basket/tea towel with all-purpose flour, rice flour, or bran flakes.
- Flip the dough and shape it into a boule or batard, depending on your baking vessel. Lay it in your basket seam side up for smooth scoring, or seam side down for a rustic look.
- Let the dough proof 60-90 minutes at room temperature, or 6-10 hours in the refrigerator. I proofed the whole grain loaf in the refrigerator for 7 hours, as the dough was very sticky and difficult to handle. The 40% and 20% doughs proofed at room temperature for 75 and 90 minutes, respectively.
- Thirty minutes before the end of the proofing stage, preheat your oven to 500 F with the baking vessel inside.
- Flour your hand and flip the dough out of the basket. Gently place it in the hot baking vessel. Score the top, cover, and bake:
- 500 F for 30 minutes lid on
- 450 F for 10 minutes lid off
- Or until the internal temperature is over 205 F.

Steps:
- Mix the yeast with 300ml warm water in a large bowl. Leave to sit for 5 mins until the yeast is super bubbly then tip in the flour, salt and olive oil. Bring the mixture together into a soft dough. Don't worry if it looks a little rough round the edges.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 5-10 mins until you have a soft, smooth and elastic dough. Try to knead using as little extra flour as possible, just enough so that the dough doesn't stick - this will keep the pittas light and airy. Once kneaded, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to double in size, approximately 1 hour.
- Heat oven as high as it will go (ideally 250C/230C fan/gas 9) and put a large baking tray on the middle shelf of the oven to get searingly hot. Divide the dough into eight balls then flatten each into a disc with the palm of your hand. On a lightly floured surface, roll each disc into an oval, around 20cm long, 15cm wide and 3-5mm thick.
- Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven. Dust with flour then place your pittas directly onto it - you may have to do this in batches. Return swiftly to the oven and bake for 4-5 mins, or until the pittas have puffed up and are a pale golden colour. Wrap each hot pitta in a clean tea towel once it's baked to keep it soft while the others cook.
