Pita Bread and Garlic Cucumber Dip

I like using alot of garlic when I cook.  My family isn't as crazy about it.  They just don't realize how healthy they'll be!  Anyways, I like breads and dips.  Hawaiin bread with spinach dip.  Pita bread with hummus dip and pita bread with cucumber dip.  Here's a recipe for making your own pita bread and a garlic dip.


Pita Bread


4 1/2 to 4 3/4 cups flour


1 pkg yeast


1 1/2 teaspoons sugar


1 1/2 teaspoons salt


1 3/4 cups water


2 tablespoons oil


Mix 2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt.  Heat water and oil until warm.  Add to flour mixture.  Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in flour to make smooth and elastic about 10 minutes.  Let rest 20 minutes covered.  Punch down and divide into 12 parts.  Roll into smooth balls.  Cover and let rise 30 minutes.  Heat oven to 500.  Roll balls out into 6 inch circles.  Bake about 3 minutes.


 


Garlic cucumber dip


1 large cucumber


3/4 cup plain yogurt


3/4 cup sour cream


3 tablespoons olive oil


4 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh dill


4 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar


3 garlic cloves, minced


1/4 teaspoon salt


Pita bread wedges


Peel cucmber, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds.  Grate cucumber and squeeze between paper towels several times to remove excess moisture.  Place cucumber in a small bowl, stir in the yogurt, sour cream, oil, dill, vinegar, garlic and salt.  Refrigerate until chilled.  Serve with pita bread.
