3 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast 1 teaspoon honey (necessary) 1 1/8 cups warm water (112 degrees F) 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour (fine ground) 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (rough ground) 1 teaspoon saltAdd yeast and honey to warm water in a medium-size bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Combine the flours and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour yeast mixture into center and stir until dough can be gathered into a ball. Knead dough on a floured board until smooth. Place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and place in a dry, draft-free place for 1-2 hours or until dough has doubled in size. Punch down dough; place on lightly floured board. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into circles and place on nonstick cookie sheets. Allow to rest, covered with damp towel for 30 minutes. On lightly floured board, roll out each piece of dough to a circle, about 5 inches in diameter. Place on cookie sheets and let stand about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F, and bake on middle rack for 5 minutes. Remove pitas from cookie sheets and let cool on rack. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
