  1. My first time making Pita Breads as the ones I bought from the store and were not good. I chose this recipe and they turned out so great. They rose perfectly in the air fryer. I am so pleased and my hubby loves them. No more store bought pitas for me. This will be my go to recipe. Thank you so much from Canada 🫠

  2. I made these with falafel. With only bread flour on hand, I used it where any flour was required in the recipe, heated the oven w/cast iron skillet inside, and they were delicious. and very dependable. Rise times and everything. I am forever grateful for this vid and recipe.

  3. When I was in elementary school every Thursday my Mom would make pita bread in the oven. My school was literally across the street so I could walk there and back.She would time it ao when I got home I would have hot pita bread with butter. Great memories and nothing better than homemade.

  4. could you make this dough in a bread maker on dough setting? asking as I don't have a oven except a halogen one so can't put the lgiht on to prove the dough, but the machine should do it for me during the dough making process.

  5. I tried this last night because I love your recipes, Chef, and the no-fail way in which you demonstrate them. I re-watched this video several times. I used your exact recipe.

    Unfortunately, though the yeast created a beautiful 'raft,' when I added the dry ingredients, this was like soup. I actually free-handedly added about two more cups of white flour before I got to the soft, sticky texture I knew should be correct. Even then, the dough stll stuck to the bottom of the bowl. As a result, I chose not to hand-knead, although I prefer that.

    Anyway, It could be due to any number of things, but after following the rest of the directions precisely, it rose beautifully, and these turned out to be delicious.

    They were a bit tough due to the excess flour. I will try them again using less water, as I live in Florida and it could be a humidity factor. Otherwise, my recipe was identical! Lightly oiling my hands helped in pulling it out after the first rise.

    Thank you for this delicious bread, Chef! Tips on cutting and shaping were such a plus!! I feel more confident that trying several more batches may achieve the perfect pita.

  6. Great recipe. I made 12 and all but one fully puffed up. I set the oven to 500 instead of 550F and baked for 5 to 6 minutes. I accidentally put 3 Tbsp of olive oil instead of 2 in the dough but it didn’t seem to make a difference.

  7. Wow super amazing video . I made today the same exact way as you using the mixing machine too but double the recipe and waited 1 1/2 hours for the dough to rise, it's the best pita bread I ever had. I strongly recommend it.
