I’m always intimidated by making bread but this recipe looks so good I have to give it a try. I would love to be able to make my own pita. I don’t care for store bought. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I just made these, and they’re delicious. I’m so proud that I made my own pita rather than buy it at the store! I started the dough last night, and then got too busy to finish the pitas. I pulled it out of the fridge this morning and went to work. I didn’t let it rise the 2nd time as you did, because it had already done it’s second rise in the fridge. Mine aren’t as puffy as yours, but they’re still tasty. I’m using them to make Kofta Kabobs for dinner tonight!

I tried this recipe and made 2 batches. The first one following the directions and the second one with half whole wheat flour half regular. The whole wheat was quite tasty. You should try it!

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?

Hi! I came across this recipe while in search of a good pita bread recipe. I will try it this weekend and let you know how mine turned out. By the way, it would be great if you could include nutritional info on your recipes, if possible. Thanks!!!

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.

I love hummus too! I’ve made piadine to go with it before, but I don’t think I’ve tried making pita bread – it has been on my to do list. I’ll have to try it soon.
