Homemade Pita bread recipes Tips & Tricks

• Don’t roll the dough too thin. I normally roll it up to 1/4″.
• Don’t brown the bread. Or it will dry soon.
• Use cotton or cheesecloth to wrap the pita bread once it is out of the oven.

Try this pita bread recipe once, and I promise you won’t feel like buying pita bread from stores again. As I mentioned, I use my old small oven which bakes one pita bread at a time, but that’s sufficient for 2-3 people. It usually takes 40-50 minutes to make 7-8 bread. If you have a bigger oven then you can bake 4-6 bread in one go.

• Fill the pita pocket with your favourite veggies and sauce
• Fill the pita bread with a salad of your choice.
• It goes really well with hummus
