Easy to make and very tasty. It takes a little practice to figure out how long to leave them in the bag so that you get a pocket. Even when mine end up pocketless they are still tasty.

The bread right out of the oven was soo good! But I did make a few mistakes! I didn't let the dough rise enough so the next day the bread was ROCK HARD!! I will def make these again.

well, I fallowed the instructions to the T and ended up with 8 7" crackers. As crackers go, they don't taste too bad, but that wasn't what I was wanting. After rolling the dough out into it's individual round breads, it simply ceased to ride. I thought maybe the rising action i was seeing in the photo's would happen once they were in the oven, but no dice. They stayed flat from rolling pen to finished product.

Great recipe! One note though: never refrigerate bread. Cooling bread down to fridge temperature will make it go stale immediately. Bread keeps just fine at 70-80 degrees for a few days anyway.

I didn't use the weigh method, I weighed the round pieces. 3 oz each makes 8 pita breads. I baked some on my pizza stone. They didn't puff the same as the ones I baked on the cooling rack in the oven. I put in large brown grocery bag with a towel inside and put a heavy bottle on the end to seal. It was kind of thick. I might make 10 next time and roll it thinner. Left it there until dinner was ready. Served with homemade hummas and greek chicken.

I enjoyed making these. I've only ever tried making pitas once before years ago, and it was a miserable failure. I was a little more successful with these, and with practice, I'm sure they'll get better. Mine never puffed up in the oven.

Much better than what I can buy at the store. I would make them more often if they didn't take so much time to roll them all out.

I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 bread flour, steamed them in the paper bag and my husband and son are already asking for me to make more. Unbelievable difference from the store bought! Can't wait to try them with some herbs and spices.

These pitas are amazing! Heads and tails above store bought. I followed the recipe exactly and we loved them. They are light and fluffy. I used the paper bag method to soften them. I will definitely make these more.

Easy to prepare, however the making part is touch & go. Let rise longer than 30 min b/c was multitasking something else, but dough did rise/puff. In the oven, however, only had half of them puff. The first 3 I don't think I did long enough or warm enough, so did try 2 extra times at the higher temp.--once cooked (even partially), they can't puff up much more at all--mistake learned. Tried the fry on the stove method, and only ended up with a few bubbles, but no "pita puff". Had no "cake rack" so used my airbake pizza pan-and that was just fine.

I used two cups bread flour and one cup whole wheat pastry flour. I mixed the dough (everything but the oil) in my Kitchenaid until a good strong dough had formed (about 12 mins on speed 2), then added olive oil and mixed another 3 mins or so. Let it rise in an oiled bowl at room temp, punched it down, and then covered & refrigerated the dough for several hours because I wasn't ready to bake it yet. I let it come up to room temp, divided the dough into 8 pieces and shaped them into balls (I didn't use the rope technique) and let the dough balls rest, covered, for about ten minutes to let the dough relax before rolling it out. I rolled out the pita rounds, let the dough rise again, and then flattened with my hands again before they went in the oven. Good—although I may cut back on the salt slightly next time.

This is a wonderful, easy pocket bread recipe. I had made one many years ago and it was difficult, time consuming and didn't turn out. This was VERY easy, turned out perfect. The only thing I will do on my next batch (3rd) will be to decrease the water. I had to use quite a bit of flour to roll out the pockets because it was quite moist and sticky. I also weighed rather than rolled and cut since I can't get the portions right. With the above recipe, each pocket should weigh right about 3 ounces. Enjoy! They puff beautifully and are fun to watch in the oven.

I was in a rush when I made this, and I just stumbled upon the recipe. I didn't realize I needed a breadmaker, but by then I didn't have enough time to find a new recipe. So, I dissolved the yeast with warm water and sugar, tossed it all together and stuck it in a bowl that was immersed in warm water (to keep it warm). I let it rise while I cooked the rest of the meal, forgetting about it then periodically giving it a quick knead. It turned out amazing! My husband and parents were impressed (all of them good cooks). I used it as a flatbread base and rubbed it with olive oil and rosemary with mushrooms and stuck it in the oven at 425 (the oven was preheated for a pie, I figured it would do). It came out beautifully!

Made by hand and its okay - not what I was expecting. Does not make pockets. Ended up the end day poking holes with wooden spoon, drizzle olive oil, put on pizza sauce and parma cheese and green onions - good! Italian pizza bread (foccia).
