Easy to make and even easier to eat. Nothing like home made breads of any type. Cheers!

Dissolve the salt in the remaining warm water. Put the flour in a large mixing bowl, making a well in the middle & put the dissolved yeast & salt water into it. Add one egg. With your hands, blend it into a dough. You may need a bit more or less water depending on your flour. Knead the dough in the bowl with your fists for 10-15 minutes or until it is smooth. Pour the oil over the dough & knead it again until the oil is absorbed. Cover the dough in the bowl with a towel & set it in a draft free area to rise to double it's bulk (1-2 hours), then punch it down & knead it again for a few minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cut pieces of dough, egg size or larger, depending on the size of the pita desired, shape them into balls with your hands & roll them out over a lightly floured board or pastry cloth to 1/4 inch thickness. Set 2 or 3 pitas on a lightly oiled cookies sheet & bake them on the lower rack 2 to 3 minutes each side. Pitas should be white & soft. Wrap the baked pitas in a clean towel until they are cool, then store them in plastic bags to prevent them from drying out. When you are ready to use them, heat a bit of oil in a shallow skillet & fry them a minute or so on each side, or until golden brown. Use them immediately, because they get hard when they dry out.

Ingredients:
•1 1/2 tablespoons dry yeast
•1 teaspoon sugar
•1 cup warm chicken broth
•4 cups flour (more as needed)
•1 1/2 cups cooked coarsely chopped or shredded chicken
•1 3/4 teaspoons salt
•1 tablespoon sugar
•1 egg (room temperature, let egg sit in hot water for about 5-7 minutes to warm)
•1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (optional)
•1 cup milk, warmed
•2 1/2 cups cream cheese (chopped into about 1/2-inch cubes or a little larger if desired)
Directions:
1 Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer with a kneader blade.
2 Proof yeast in broth with 1 teaspoon sugar for 8-10 minutes, or until foamy.
3 Heat milk in the microwave for about 50 seconds on HIGH.
4 In the stainless steel bowl, add in 4 cups flour, salt, sugar, egg, hot pepper sauce (if using) and warmed milk.
5 After the yeast has proofed, add to the bowl and start kneading, adding in more flour as needed to create soft smooth semi-sticky dough, keep kneading for about 8-10 minutes.
6 Towards the end of the kneading add in the cubed cream cheese, chopped chicken, and mix until combined (the dough can be removed from the bowl and you can add/mix in the cheese by hand if desired).
7 After the kneading, let the dough sit out on a board or counter top to rest, covered with a clean tea towel for 8-10 minutes.
8 Gather up dough and knead gently for 30 seconds.
9 Then place the dough in a well greased bowl, and let rise until doubled (about 1-1/2 hours or could take a little longer).
10 Punch down dough and slice into two even pieces.
11 Shape into two large balls, and place on a cookie/baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
12 Cover with a clean tea towel and rise again for another 1 hour or more until doubled.
13 Brush tops with an egg white that has been mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water.
14 Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 25-35 minutes or until the crust is a dark golden brown.
