“I followed your recipe exactly and even did the optional second rise. Unfortunately, only a few of the pitas puffed up, and even then not completely, just in one part of the pita. I would really appreciate any suggestions you can offer to get all of them to ” — a cook, 4★
“A wonderful recipe. The pita dough is perfect and its so strange its like magic.... haha! Thank you! The chemistry background must help when creating, no? Thanks again.” — a cook, 5★
