Pita Bread
I used the recipe found at this link.  However, only one of my pita breads rose enough to be split.  They all tasted delicious, but I could not split them so they could be stuffed.  So, the next time I bake these I plan to 1--double or triple the recipe and 2--shape the pitas and let them rise first.  Instead of letting the blob of dough rise one hour, shape into pita rounds, let rise a little bit more, and then bake.  I think that shaping them as soon as I mix and knead the dough, and then letting them rise for 45 minutes or so will work better.  I'll let you know as soon as I try it!
