This dough has a high hydration so it will be sticky to handle, so ensure you have floured your hands and work surface well. The increased hydration ensures a soft chewy pita bread. Preheat a pizza stone, baking tray or upturned griddle pan in order to place the dough directly onto a very hot surface, this will ensure you create a successful pita pocket. Best served freshly baked with homemade houmous. Once all of the pitas are baked, place them into a plastic bag. The little bit of steam keeps the pita bread soft and moist.
