Thank you for popping by my blog. Your pitas look lovely. Your recipe is v similar, apart from I don’t rise my pita dough. I’ll have to try rising it next time.

Not that i have beautiful bread pans, but how do you keep your pans from warping from the excess heat with nothing on them? Just curious, or did I miss something. I enjoyed reading about your breadmaking and will be back. Thanks!

Maggie – So glad you enjoyed them. Yes, they are great when made with whole wheat flour too. Just be sure to keep a little white flour in there… maybe a 4:1 ratio of wheat to white. Helps the dough develop enough gluten.

My sister and I just made a batch of these and ate half with a yogurt and lentil dip. They were so soft and delicious, kind of like naan. And it was great to open the oven and see those puffy little pillows! They will definitely be in the repertoire. Do you think they’d work well with some whole wheat flour? Thanks so much for the great recipe.

Kieran –
Are you preheating your baking sheet? make sure it’s been preheated for at least 15 minutes so it’s really hot. it is the sudden shock of heat that forces the air into the pockets and puffs them up. Hope that helps! Also, sometimes when I make them one or two won’t puff so sometimes it doesn’t always work. But still you should be getting most of them puffed.

Every time we make pita bread, it doesn’t puff up! What are we doing wrong?
