Hello! Thankx so much for the recipes they are great!
But I was wondering if you have any tips on how to get the pita's puffy? I seem to have a problem with getting them to be puffy like your photos show.
Shokran!
Hi,
you are welcome.
about pita puffs.
* make sure to preheat the oven with your baking surface (stone or baking pan ) 1 hour before baking.
I hope this work will for you.
zainab

Hi nadia,
Thank you for the nice comment,I did not try to make pita in microwave,you can cook it flat pan on the stove top,but you will not get the same results.
I hope that help.

I made this wonderful Pita bread few times now and ended up adding much more flour then described since the dough had a consistency of porridge. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Avion,
Depends on the type of flour you used
If you use white flour try to reduce the amount of liquids.
else if you use the whole wheat like in the recipe the dough consistency will be fine,even when you use the white flour.

I made this with Gold Medal white and wheat and halved the recipe-for 1/2 tablespoon, I just used one 1/4 oz packet yeast.
The dough was very sticky-kneaded it with the Kitchen Aide dough hook.
Kept adding by 1/4 cup white then wheat flour.
I had 8 rolls from the dough.
I then dusted with flour what I put them on to rise.
I used a 550 degree oven with a cast iron griddle-long one-actually Bobby Flay's-on the bottom most rack.
The first two rolls made only some poofs on top of the dough-I used a spatula to turn to cook other side and it it just browned.
Tasted VERY GOOD, looked like soft flat bread or something.
I then halved each risen dough and since I left the racks in the over while preheating, I lowered one over the griddle. That one poofed perfectly, even though I had to stretch the dough so it would not fall through the rungs of the rack. When I let one hang off the rung, it did not poof very well and part was like the first two rolls.
I then used a cookie cooling rack that had squares instead of rungs which kept the dough from falling through. It poofed, even when they took on a triangular shape.
If your dough tore, it won't poof-it will just kinda stick where it tore.
Before rolling out the dough I dusted it with flour first.
Also, some still did not poof, so I checked the oven-it had gone down to 514 degrees-so I let it heat up to 550 and then threw in the last two and perfect poof.
Very good dough and pita despite all my mishaps!
