I revised a recipe that I found in a magazine.The pitas will rise when they're freshly baked, but will flatten quickly. These are also great stuffed with dry curry or beans. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Perfect Pita Bread Perfect Pita Bread
This is a small batch recipe for 3 medium pita breads. The secret to getting them to puff up into pockets is a super hot oven (at least 260°C/500°F). I recommend sticking to white flour for this because it seems whole wheat flours don't do a good job of rising well (which means no pocket!).Great for falafel, or any kind of sandwich fillings you like. Here are a couple of my falafel recipes if you need one ;)Regular Chickpea Falafel: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/282549-no-fail-chickpea-falafelBeet Falafel: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/246975-beet-falafelButternut Squash Falafel: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/283109-butternut-squash-falafel

Pita Bread (Pocket Bread) Pita Bread (Pocket Bread)
I love pita bread, so I attempted to make it at home since it's not easily available.So simple, since the dough only needs to rise once.Adjust the baking temperature to suit your oven. It was slightly high for my gas oven, so I burned them. Recipe by Kittymama -
Puffy and Chewy Pita Bread with All-Purpose Flour Puffy and Chewy Pita Bread with All-Purpose Flour
I was amazed at the pita bread I ate in a Turkish store, so I came up with this recipe for a puffy pita using the same dough as naan.The tips for puffy pita are to allow the surface to dry a bit after rolling, bake them with the bottom moist side up, and to bake at a high temperature for a short amount of time.By adding baking powder, I was able to get the dough to puff up nicely.

Easy Pita Bread in a Food Processer Easy Pita Bread in a Food Processer
I was making "eterno"'s bagels and was really impressed by the idea of using a processor to make them. I wondered if it was possible to make pita bread the same way, and after much trial and error I finally arrived at this recipe.In Step 4, make sure the seams are facing up when rolling the dough out with a rolling pin. Stretch it out gently. If the dough doesn't rise enough, open it up with a knife. When using an electric oven, bake at 300℃ for best results. Recipe by Akkorin mama -
