Carol's (Quick) Easy Pita Bread

I usually like my pita bread whole wheat, but we were out, and I didn't have time to grind some, so I searched on google recipes (If you haven't tried google recipes, you need too!) and found this one.  We had these with our Chicken Waldorf Salad. YUM!

2 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoons quick-rising yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups hot water ( but not boiling)
1 -1 1/2 cup flour

Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl. Beat well about 1 minute. Then mix in the remaining flour, using just enough to make a soft, sticky dough. Turn out on floured board and continue to knead for 5 minutes. Divide into 8 balls. Roll out each one to about 1/4 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter.
Place on very lightly greased cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal (although cornmeal is really not necessary if you don't have it). Let rise in warm place for 25-35 minutes . Bake at 450 for 4 min, and then turn over for 4 more minutes or until lightly browned. Wrap immediately in a dishtowel for 3 or 4 minutes.
