This video was fabulous. Thank you! I tried making pita for the 1st time today and was disappointed with the results. Then I found you! I will be giving this a try post haste! Your pitas look wonderful to me. I think the key is the 15 minutes resting after making the balls and then another 30. I made the balls and immediatly formed the pitas (to thin I think) with my hands and let rest for 45 minutes. Not very puffed. Can't wait to try again.
