I wasn't sure if they would work, but they did! A perfect pocket in the middle.
Ingredients:
1 pkg of yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1/2 cup warm water
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cup lukewarm water
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add sugar; stir until dissolved. Let sit 10-15 min until water is frothy.
Combine flour and salt in large bowl.
Make a small depression in the middle of the flour and pour yeast water into it.
Slowly add 1 cup lukewarm water and stir until elastic (use wooden spoon or rubber spatula).
Place dough on floured surface and knead 10-15 min until dough is smooth and elastic, not sticky. (You may need to keep adding flour to the surface.)
Coat large bowl (I used the one I mixed the dough in) with oil. Put dough in and flip it over so all sides are greased.
Allow to sit in a warm place for about 3 hours or until it has doubled in size (it took 2 hours for mine).
Once doubled, preheat oven to 500F. Position rack as low as possible in the oven, and put in your baking sheet to preheat. Roll dough into a rope and make into 10-12 small balls. Let sit on a floured surface for 10 min.
Roll out each ball into circles about 5-6 inches across and about 1/4 inch thick.
Back each circle for 4 min until bread puffs up. Turn over and bake 2 more min. Remove from baking sheet (and repeat for next set of circles).
Gently push down on the puff. Immediately place in storage bags. Can be stored for a week without being frozen or a month if frozen.
