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. Recipe by Kuminchan
