Warm pita, hummus and Israeli salad reminds me of eating outside on a peaceful, summer evening in Israel. You can use this recipe to make your own Israeli Pita Pockets (pitot in Hebrew).

2. Mix together flour and salt. Add to yeast mixture. .

6. Roll out each ball thinly on a floured surface. Place pitot on an ungreased cookie sheet, cover, leave in a warm place, and let rise for 30 minutes.
