Whole-Wheat Pita Bread

Combine all ingredients and knead them together. You can do this by hand or with the dough hook in the mixer (about 5 minutes in a mixer or 7 minutes by hand). The dough should be soft, supple, and a little sticky. Transfer to a slightly oiled bowl and cover tightly. Let stand for 1 3/4 hours. Place the pizza stone on the bottom rack in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees. After the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured board and cut it in half, then divide each half into 4 equal portions. Form each piece into a rough ball and place them all to rise under a clean cloth for 15 minutes. Using a rolling pin, roll out one dough piece, keeping the others covered, into a 6-inch circle. Place the dough round on the hot pizza stone and cook until the bread puffs up a little and is speckled brown. Flip the pita once while baking to brown the other side. Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Keep pita breads wrapped in a kitchen towel and serve warm.
