Sourdough Pita Bread image

This recipe is a delicious use of sourdough starter. Use to make gyros or stuff with hummus and an assortment of fresh vegetables. The rising may take a little while depending on temperature and how active the starter is. If you want to give the starter a boost, add 1 tsp commercial yeast to 1/8 cup of water and allow to bubble before adding to flour mixture.

This recipe is too complicated. I don't have time to make sourdough starter.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pita bread turned out flat and dense. I'll have to try again.

I had some trouble getting the dough to rise, but once I got it in the oven, it turned out great. The pita bread was light and fluffy.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pita bread turned out great! It was soft and fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've been making pita bread for years, and this is by far the best recipe I've found. The sourdough starter gives it a wonderful flavor and texture. I'll definitely be making this again!
