Actually, I don't know how to make real pita bread. This variant is unleavened and cooked in a dry frying pan so that you can watch them inflate.
( Have some washed-out cell phone photos... )
Hee, the userpic is actually the first userpic I had on this journal. It's based on a rather old drawing.
Anyway, this recipe is probably not optimal, but it's what I did this time. I don't actually understand why it works beyond "mumble mumble steam mumble", so it feels like a bit of black magic to me:
Dough: 2 parts all-purpose flour + 1 part water by volume Pancake: Thickness is somewhere near the thickness of a (hardcover) textbook cover. Surface is dry enough that I can push it around on a hot pan. Pan: an empty frying pan, slightly off-center over a small-ish fire
