Had a lovely crust and a dense texture inside. My husband enjoyed these alongside Peppy's recipe. Both are good - just different. I tried the tip to pan fry them but it didn't work out for us.

Very good. Just what I was looking for - and these take no time to make at all! Thanks.

I was disappointed - I found that allowing more than 45 minutes for the dough to rise, more like 3 hours, worked for me.

This was very good and I will make it again. I did find it to be a little salty so I will reduce it by 1/2. Thanks for a great recipe!

I substituted white whole wheat flour for all of the all-purpose flour, and it worked great. Whole wheat flour does require more rising time, so I let the rolled-out pitas rise for about an hour. I cooked half the pitas per the directions, and put the remaining 3 dough balls in the fridge wrapped in plastic. The following day I rolled them out with a rolling pin and cooked them in a hot, ungreased cast iron skillet. These were even better! Just like soft flatbread, delicious dipped in hummus. Thanks for this fun recipe.

I made this just this morning and instead of baking I fried it in a bit of olive oil. I wasn't interested in a pocket because they are for dipping but a couple of them did produce pockets. So much tastier then anything I've ever bought and so quick to make. I will never buy store bought again!

The pitas were fine. Mine bubbled up ok (I had the pockets). I made home made gyro meat and when I made the gyros with this pita bread, the bread couldn't stay together. I will try these again, buy may try them in the frying pan with olive oil next time.

Loved this recipe. The pitas all made pockets. It was super easy, which was what I wanted. I also added a squirt of honey. Make sure you put them on a well-floured surface to rise! My first batch absorbed the little bit of flour that was under them and glued themselves to the table. Those became some tasty pita chips though.

awesome! my yemeni family loved it! we were able to use this recipe for dipping in hummus and foul/fasulia and for cut in half and opened for falafel sandwiches! the kneading is an important part for the texture of the bread i kneaded it for about 5-7 minutes because thats what my mother in law does when she makes her traditional breads and it turned out great..to rise the dough i put a pot of just boiled water in the bottom rack of my oven and put the covered dough on baking sheets on the top rack,(this is a trick from my grandmother). overall this was wonderful and i will be making it over and over!

I was very happy with the way these turned out. The dough was a little sticky, so I had to add roughly 1/3 cup more flour to make it workable, but it was a very easy recipe. I served it with hummus and a cucumber salad my friend had made, and it worked very well. About half of my pita puffed and pocketed, and I realized that the ones I forgot to flip before baking were the ones that puffed, so now I know how to make American pita pockets, too! I will be making these again soon, my daughter adores them.

A good recipe - tastes great. I must be doing something wrong though because mine didn't puff. Next time I will try rolling the dough thinner. I thought it was thin enough as all of the pitas were much larger than the 5" they were supposed to be rolled to, but I will try again and see! They were still great for dipping!

I tried this recipe twice and I don't know if it is my oven, but it just does not work. It comes out like regular bread. I kneeded it, shaped it let it rise, baked it. It didn't come out like pita bread at all. I wonder how this is working for anyone else.

Slight modification. To those who said the bread was bland, it's supposed to be....it's not supposed to get in the way of the flavors of the food. That being said I found that oven baking produced a very dry pita. I fried mine in just enough olive oil to coat the pan for about a minute or two on each side. The hint of olive was exactly what the baked ones were missing. Great recipe!!!

This recipe is a keeper....It works great with spelt. For pita chips.... after they cook, cut into 8 pieces spray with or roll in olive oil and add sugar and cinnamon or whatever else you like on pita chips bake at 375 degrees about 5 min.....yummy!

I've made these twice now, and really enjoy them! The second time I made them I took it even a step further and made pita chips with them. I read the other reviews that said that they ended up more as dinner rolls...if your pitas end up more as rolls and don't "pocket" (like mine did the first time) this probably means you're not kneading the dough enough. I made sure I kneaded the dough for atleast 5-6mins the second time I did it and they turned out perfect!

These have a good flavor. I will let them cook a little longer next time to achieve that browner look. Nice texture and good flavor. I may try adding some garlic powder to the mix to make a little garlicy flavor pita next time.
