Egg Salad Pita Pockets

"Don't put all of your eggs in one basket!" Put them in your pocket...
a scrumptious homemade pita pocket.


From Christy: I am sharing my recipe for a fun, healthy, lunch for your family that is low in cost and satisfying.

Pita Pockets are great for small children because the filling will not ooze out the sides and bottom like regular bread slices do.


Pita Bread Pockets

5 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 pkg rapid rise yeast
1 3/4 cups hot water
2 TB oil

Set aside 1 cup flour. Mix remaining flour, salt, sugar and yeast in large bowl.

Pour oil in hot water (125-130 degrees); stir into dry mixture. Stir in only enough reserved flour to make a soft dough.

On a lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half and divide each half into 6 pieces. Shape each into smooth ball and place on baking sheet. cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

On lightly floured surface roll each ball into a 5" circle and place on cookie sheet. Bake 3 or 4 at a time in 500ยบ oven on the bottom shelf for 5 minutes, until puffed and the top just begins to brown. Repeat with remaining circles. Cool, and split one side to form a pocket.

Egg Salad Filling

Hard boil 6 eggs. Cool, peel and dice into bowl. Add 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, 1/4 cup chopped cucumbers and 1 large grated carrot. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, and parsley to taste. Dress with 1/2 cup mayo and 4 tbsp prepared mustard.
