With pitas, practice makes perfect. Do not get discouraged if they do not turn out perfectly the first time. This same recipe can be used to make fresh pizza dough! I simply increase the oil from 2 tbsp. to a 1/2 of a c. Increasing the oil makes the dough softer and spongier when cooked. It also helps maintain moisture after cooking. This recipe will yield two large pizzas. If you like really crispy pitas or pizza, remove the oil entirely. These pitas are perfect for making sandwiches or serving with dips and tapenades, like hummus or baba ganoush.
