  warm place for 30 to
       45    minutes. 15 minutes before they finish rising, preheat
  oven to 425F & lightly grease a baking sheet. Blend sugar with cold
  water until you have a thick paste. Add more water if necessary. Set
  aside. Working on 2 balls at a time, press each ball flat. Roll out
  each round to a 7" circle. Place two rounds on the baking sheet.
  Spread the sugar paste evenly over the top of each round. Sprinkle
  with 4 ts of sesame seeds. Press down to ensure that the seeds stick.
  Score each pita into 8 wedges. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  Remove
  from oven, separate the wedges & cool on wire racks. Note, these
  pitas do not puff.
