Instructions: Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup of warm water. Let stand 5-10 minutes.

Place flours and lite salt in a large bowl, making a depression in the center. Combine milk, remaining water and dissolved yeast; pour into depression. Begin mixing flour with liquid, making sure all batter on sides of bowl is worked into dough. Knead until a smooth dough results and the sides of the bowl are clean. (Occasionally dip hands in more water while kneading to give a smooth, elastic finish.) Cover with towel and let dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (2-4 hours). Form into 16 smooth balls. Cover and let rise on a cloth for 30 minutes.. Roll into 1/4" thick circles. Cover and let rise again on cloth for 30 minutes. Prehrat oven to 475 degrees. Place dough directly on racks in oven. As soon as the dough rises into a mound, 2-5 minutes, place under broiler for a few seconds until lightly browned. Cool.

Makes 16 pitas.
