Default Syrian bread

I was craving hummus. I bought some today. Yeah, I know some of you will
tell me how easy it is to make but I don't eat enough of it to warrant
purchasing tahini. I picked up a bag of Greek pita at the bread outlet
yesterday. Came home to find that all but one of my pita was eaten! Grr.. Ah
but no problem. It's easy to make.. I've made it before.

I then discoverer that my Active Dry Yeast was badly expired. I did have
Rapid Rise. I've never used it before. I bought it for some recipe but never
made the recipe. Then I discovered my AP flour was just past the "Best" By"
date. And I still have the messed up oven. Despite all this, I still made
it.

I did dock it as I wanted it not to "pocket". Not sure my oven even gets hot
enough to pocket. I used a different stone when I made it prior and I baked
in on clay tiles, which I no longer have.

The end result is perfect! I'm going to try making this with some whole
wheat flour (maybe a cup) mixed in next time.

The recipe:
