Oh the possibilities. I love how enormous the pocket is inside. I will try these as soon as I can. Thanks!

Hi Sana,

The top of my pita always seems to be thinner than the bottom, so I’m not sure how to correct. But, when I buy them from the store, they seem to be that way too, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I’m glad you liked them!

Hi Michelle

I made these yesterday and they came out great. However there was one thing. I rolled my pockets to just over 1/8″ thick, and stuck them in the oven. They started pillowing around 2 1/2 minutes, finishing about a minute or so later.
But, the top of the pocket is SO thin compared to the bottom of the pita. Is there any way to get the top and the bottom a little more uniform? Or is it normal to have it thinner on the top than the bottom?

After making this recipe twice, I can say the trick to getting good pockets is not rolling the dough out too thin. I made that mistake the first time and on a few the second time around. I finally re-read the directions and realized I was going much too big.

The second time I made the dough, it came out really sticky, and I think that had to do with the humidity on the day. I added a bit more flour and a lot more olive oil to keep the whole thing from sticking everywhere. It all worked out in the end though. They were fluffy and tasty. Then I turned some into pita chips but cutting them up and baking them.

Thanks!

I am waiting for the dough to rise right now as we speak!

I found I had to add a few handfuls of flour when I was kneading as my dough was super sticky, although it is pretty humid today and that might have something to do with it. I hope that’s ok……..I’ve only made kneaded bread once and it wasn’t that great, I usually stick to the no-knead kind because I never feel I am doing it right.

Crossing my fingers for perfect pita-ness!

My pita breads are all rolled out and just waiting to double in size.

This is not just a great recipe, but the pictures, and the notes mean that it’s easy to follow.

Well done – I can’t wait to take them to work for lunch and proudly tell that I made them myself!!!

Yum. Those look great. I’ve made pitas once, with the recipe in the Bread Bible. I definitely need to try it again. Especially since I just checked my notebook and discovered that it’s been three years since I did that.
