[MarjoriesCandies]

these bread need a very hot oven around 450 degrees F. for about 5 minutes. Watch the breads allowing them to puff up and brown the tops just a little.

[MarjoriesCandies]

Assuming that the yeast that you used was working properly, did you roll them out to 1/4 inch thick? That is very important. Too thick and they won't "pocket".

Anyone else have any ideas?

I am sorry that you had difficulty.

I was looking for a Pita/tortilla recipe, and you had me when you giggled at the beginning. Here's why. I have a cat that I call Pita-Bread when he's being extra sucky. lol! I will try this recipe, it seems fairly easy. If I can bake bread, surely I can bake these babies! Jazz (the Pita) says Meow! ;)
