Pita Bread for Bread Machine image

I found this stuffed in my recipe box. I'm not sure where I found it, but I decided to try this with Gyros. These were delicious! The recipe wasn't specific on the temperature of the water, & after I had all of the ingredients in the pan, I remembered that I should have used warm water (120-130 degrees F). But I goofed & used cold water. I thought I'd try it anyways & if it didn't work I'd just make another batch. But I got lucky, because it raised just fine. I also used all-purpose flour. This was my first time making pita bread, so for any of you who are new to making pitas as well, here are some tips for rolling them out. If you roll them out to 6-7 inches, they do not puff very much & you can use them like a tortilla. However, if you roll them a little smaller (some of mine just didn't want to stretch to 6 inches) & have them a little thicker (not too much) they puff up & you can cut them in half for pita pockets. For some wierd reason, this really impressed me! Note: If you use a stone pan to bake these, bake for 4 minutes & do not turn. *Prep time varies for all bread machines, so I didn't list that part. My prep time was 1 hour, 20 minutes.

I love that this recipe makes a big batch of pita bread. I can freeze the leftovers and they're just as good when I reheat them.

The recipe didn't specify how long to bake the pita bread. I had to experiment a bit to get it just right.

The recipe was a bit confusing in some parts. I had to reread it a few times to make sure I was doing it correctly.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat flour. It makes the pita bread healthier and more flavorful. I also appreciate that the recipe is relatively easy to follow. I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to make this recipe without any pro

This recipe is a lifesaver! I used to buy pita bread from the store, but now I can make it at home for a fraction of the cost.

Good recipe, but I found that the dough was a little too sticky. I had to add more flour to get it to the right consistency.
