I made these today are they are the bomb! I didn’t have whole wheat flour, so made up the difference with all purpose flour. I didn’t have a baking stone, so I put two sheet pans together and put them upside down on the middle rack and used those to bake the pitas. Every one of them puffed up and my husband said they were so much better than the store bought ones. He said he didn’t like pitas, but he’s now changed his mind! Highly recommend!

Erin, I love you. Also, would you consider doing a full length episode on baking with spelt? I'm not gluten-free, but wheat intolerant, and I can eat spelt, but I need to know more about how to bake with it. Help, maybe? please? Regardless, you're a star.

Growing up, my friend’s mother made these- she called then Syrian Bread and we would put split them and place butter and Syrian cheese ( I suspect homemade feta cheese) and broil them for a few seconds- so,so,so good! This was the early 1970s and seemed so exotic! I’ve tried with store bought pita bread, which was a dismal failure, but now, to try these!!!

Looking forward to trying this recipe. I’m still working my way through your “Book on Pie”. Just an FYI - not all parchment paper is rated for 500-degree temps. The brand I’m currently using is only rated to 450. Other than burning, I’m not sure what adverse action might occur. Just something to keep in mind for the future.

Very enjoyable. I use a 55% ratio of water to flour and get excellent texture and (most important), puff. I've been using a big skillet I got from my mom in the bottom of the oven. 500º for 3 minutes.

two points: you can tell Erin is a super experienced baker by how she flours her working surface. I geek'd out over that lol. - and this pita recipe looks super amazing to me, because I hate when bakeries/volume bread makers put cornmeal on the outside to stop the sticking, it just wrecks the end product for me, it's Sunday...I have two free hours, and I'm going to go and try to make this right now. Thanks Erin.

I just finished pulling my pitas out of the oven. Like Erin, I couldn’t wait to try them. I made a basic hummus for smearing in the pockets. They are delicious!!!! Reminder baking is always an experiment. I will make another batch and compare notes. I weighed everything out and it was a little wet. I added more AP a little at a time while it was mixing. I also have a convection oven and used a pizza stone. I made two at a time and waited in between for a few minutes so everything could heat back up. My last two didn’t puff like the rest. I’m guessing I just lost heat at the end. Also after I rolled them out and stacked them, I rearranged the stack to start with the first one I rolled out and work my way to the last.

Love this recipe and video and am about to try it out. But I have a conundrum. My parchment sheet paper says it's oven safe up to 450° F. and you say to set the oven to 500°. So I think I'll have to bend the rules and lower the temp if I want to use the parchment (which appears to make baking so much easier).

Made two consecutive batches tonight. 1st one i weighed the ingredients and the dough was really wet - had to add about 1/4 c more flour. Rose in 30 minutes in my warmish kitchen. 2nd batch i measured and was less wet but still had to add several more tablespoons of flour. Had oven on for an hour with a steel in it, and only half puffed up. Not sure what happened both with the dough and my oven. Made exactly to the recipe and the video....But they were yummy still.

Enjoyed this video and I’m going to try this recipe as soon as it gets cold. Does anyone know what brand of parchment can go in a 500° oven? All I’ve ever seen is parchment for up to 425°, after that the parchment tends to burn and turn crispy. This lady reminds me of my Aunt Mimi, she used to do her hair up just like that. She was an excellent cook, completely self-taught and a good ole “down home” cook. Lovely memories!

So what is it that makes some breads puff with that hollow center, and others not? Is it from rolling them flat? I know the heat must be part of it, but not only that, since many kinds of bread are baked that hot.

The steam that is generated inside the flat dough in a really hot oven in combination with the gas produced by the yeast is what makes them puff.

There are many videos about substituting different flours for regular flours and how they work out, whether they need more liquid for hydration, or other differences that matter like rougher grind of the wheat or other flours. Do you have a specific flour that you regularly use? Because there is even a difference in when you mill your own grain, there are several videos on this.

I found that this recipe fell short as have others in that that one wall of the pita (the top wall) is extremely thin resulting in tears or ruptures, rendering the pocket, well not a pocket. I have just checked in the video and the one she opens seems to suffer from this as well. Serious eats has a recipe with a technique to prevent this, though their technique didn't quite deliver for me either, so I'm off on my own experiments. As someone who grew up in the U.S. this pita is far superior to what is available in stores, but I lived many years in Israel and the commercially available pitas are nearly perfect. In a 10 pack 8 will be uniformly thick on both sides and without burst seams, this is what I want to recreate. A good consistent pita makes eating a sandwich with sliced bread seem infantile.
