Flatbread... or is it a Pita?

Camp Bread.
It's simple, it's quite tasty, and it's perfect for grilling over a fire.
I'm not too talkative today, so to the Recipe!

Tasty, Tasty Flatbread
(Or a tasty Pocket bread)
(From "The Inn of the Last Home," a Dragonlance supplement.)

2 1/2 Cups Flour (White flour, or 1C White, 1 1/2 Wheat or Rye)
1 Package Dry Yeast
1/2 Cup Warm Water mixed with 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 Cup Warm Water mixed with 1 teaspoon salt

1. Pour warm sugar-water into a bowl; sprinkle with yeast so it sinks smoothly without clumping. Let stand 10 minutes.
2. Add salt water and 1 C flour; mix well.
3. Add remaining flour and mix well.
4. Knead 10 minutes
5. Divide into 6 portions, and roll each into a 1/2-3/4 inch circle.

Here's where we split ways and have some interesting options.
For the Frybread:
In a heavy skillet, fry bread in 1 Tablespoon of hot oil over Medium heat for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear. (Bread should be mostly unbrowned.)

For the Pockets-
On a greased cookie sheet, bake at 425 for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown spots appear on the edges and bottom.

Note- This bread deals very well with freezer storage; to eat, simply reheat straight from the freezer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.)

Note 2- it's OH so good with jams and jellies. Oh so very, very good.
