We refrigerate the dough and make fresh pitas throughout the week. We always add the olive oil.

Surprisingly it was very easy to make but I wish I read the reviews before I started. I have to agree with everyone else that it has way too much salt, I will try with 1 teaspoon next time. Also, mine didn’t puff completely, this could be the “first time” trial so I won’t judge that right now. I will also try it with wheat flour some time.

Perfect , would make again.

Super easy recipe and pita turned out perfectly!
Yummly User 4 years ago
Wow. This was incredibly easy to put together and had a great depth of flavor. I was afraid to try making pita after a botched would-not-puff batch from a couple of years before, but now that I have a recipe I can trust, I will not hesitate next time I need some. I loved that I was able to cook half the day of and half the day after with no problems. I cooked mine in a preheated Dutch oven (no lid) at 400 degrees in the oven.
If you want yours to puff, make sure to roll them as thin as you can without tearing and keep them moist before they go into the oven by limiting their air exposure (I did this by rolling them out only as needed and keeping the rest of the dough covered).

Great pit bread recipe. They melt in your mouth

It’s hard to get the temperature just right so they puff, but even if they don’t, they make delicious flat bread

These came out pretty good using an everyday non-stick frying pan. I had a few pocket failures due to inconsistent thickness but that’s what happens when you use a wine bottle as a rolling pin. Will make again.

Turned out great! 2nd time making it. Tried using a bread machine and it turned out the same.

I made this twice so far and if you want to ensure a pocket is created while cooking, make sure the dough is chilled. Very tasty!

Amazing recipe! We are enjoying with some shrimp and steak! 😋

Delicious! Fantastic flavor. The recipe has great instructions.

These come out great baked in the oven. Add in some nigella seeds, coriander, turmeric and garlic power and they go really nicely with curry too.

Excellent recipe. Only I cooked it on a low heat because the hotter the easier they burn. But waaayyy tastier than store bought or restaurant!

Oh 😍 my first flatbreads, they are yummy.
Too much salt.

Really tasty pita and easy to make! Perfect for lunch or dipping! Mine didn’t puff up in the oven unfortunately but I might have rolled them too thin!

The best pita bread I've ever tasted, my family loved it!
Yummly User 6 years ago
Cooked in stove, turned out good, not many pockets.

Have made a few times now, and it’s always delicious!

Worked up very easy. Mine didn't blow up all that much but enough that I could separate them once I cut them in half. I used most of them to dip into a hummus Lamb dish called "Hummus with Ground Lamb and Toasted Pine Nuts" That is also on Yum so it didn't matter too much to me if the air bubble was there or not. Will make this again for sure!

These were very easy and really yummy. I cooked them in the oven and they were nice and soft with a little chew to them. They were perfect for my homemade gyros.
Yummly User 6 years ago
Used 1 cup bread flour and 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, cut the salt to 1 teaspoon. Almost 2 hours and rising beautifully. Just finished cooking in oven, lovely! Making a lamb sandwich now. So easy and delicious. Will definitely make again. They looked like balloons in the oven.

My dough doubled in size, but I only had enough for four 8” pitas. The ones I did make, however, turned out incredible. There’s nothing like eating one of these freshly cooked.

Great recipe!! I utilized this recipe to make pita chips with homemade pitas. This recipe is easy and fast! Tastes good and has great texture once cooled! I used the baking method.
Yummly User 6 years ago
These were excellent! I made them according to the directions in the recipe. I didn’t find them to be bland as some other reviews had stated. However I am a bit of a purist. Though I can see how you could change them up with garlic or rosemary or whatever your preference. I will be making these on the regular. So fast and easy!

Easy to make. Fun to make. Haven't gotten past using them to make pita pizzas yet though. Looking forward to it!

I absolutely love these (so does my family). Not sure how many times I've made them but I haven't bought store-bought pita bread since I started.
