I would like to find some information about making pita bread. I checked the threads and did not find a recipe. Anyone making their own pita bread?

The easiest way to go about it is to prepare the dough and let it rise slightly, roll it out into sheets of about 2-3mm thickness, cut into rounds matching the size of your frying pan, and heat them inside the pan without oil over medium heat, flipping them to cook from both sides for about 1-2 minutes total......
lulu, the pita dough I make is similar to the thin crust pizza dough except that I use 1-1/2 tsp of dried yeast to 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of flour. After mixing all the ingredients, I let it rise for about 1 hour before rolling out into sheets of about 2-3mm thickness, cut into rounds according to the size of my frying pan, and heat them inside the pan without oil over medium heat, flipping them to cook from both sides for about 1-2 minutes total.lulu said:This sounds good Boufa, how do you make your dough?
