Seriously, almost too easy to be this good! My husband is Greek and the store bought pita and flat bread just don't cut it. These are wonderful. Thanks for sharing! I changed nothing, did flip them half way and used baking stone. Wish I could give them more stars!

Easy & Yummy! I made this exactly as stated, using a bread machine. The loaves came out well. They weren't all exactly round, but I certainly didn't care. They tasted delicious! This was quite simple, even with the rolling of the pieces. I hope anyone who reads this recipe tries it once!

Incredible! These turned out just like the ones at our favorite Middle-Eastern restaurants. I followed the recipe exactly, but did everything by hand since I don't have a bread machine. My husband and I LOVED these! I will make these again!

Now, I'll admit, I have no clue what Syrian bread is. I have never heard of it before, but it was one of the results that came up when I searched for "pita bread" so that's what I'm rating this as. I goofed and used 1tsp sugar and only 1/2 tsp stalt, but the results were still good. My bread machine is the LeftHandRightHand model, so I proofed the yeast in warm water with the sugar and added the flour, oil and salt in a little bit at a time. After the dough had pulled together, I kneaded it on a floured board for about 10 mins before putting it in a lightly oiled bowl, covering it, and letting it rise for about a hour (and WOW did it rise!). I followed the rest of the directions as written and was quite happy with the results. Only one of the 8 pieces did not puff up. Easy and fun to make. Will be making this again.

This was great! I needed to add more water + a bit more oil in order to make the dough pliable, as it was very dry prior to that addition. Delicious and simple.

These were yummy. The salt tasted wonderful against the rest of the ingredients, like the sugar. I had trouble finding a good baking time though. I cooked them a bit longer and they were kind of crispy. You could still cut most of them and find a pocket. One though was a thin crisp piece in the middle. I thought they looked better with brown heat marks on them, but if I would have left them the whiter color after the end of 5 minutes I think they would have been more soft like bread. But I couldn't tell if they were done so I baked them longer.

this makes a great pita bread. I use it and add different bread spices to give it different flavor. I use a rolling pin when I want a big pocket and when I'm just looking for a flat bread I hand press it. It also makes a great pizza crust.

Very good texture and taste. Dreamy with butter and honey! I did however, change the salt to 3/4 and sugar to 1-1/2tbs. I also made the dough into small round circles as directed but made half with a rolling pin and half by manipulating the dough with my hands. The half made by the rolling pins had hugh puffiness but the half made by hand raised just perfect without a hugh puff. Wil make wonderful bread for small pizzas but I'm eating thess tonight with Peanut Ginger Chicken from this board, Allrecipes, should make the perfect meal, thanks for posting.
