Thanks for coming by! :D I hear you on the yeast taste thing- it's a tricky thing to get right and age of the yeast can make a big difference. Maybe mine wasn't the freshest. ;) I did sprinkle the pitas with water, actually, but maybe I should have tried the old "toss in a few ice cubes" trick. Perhaps once I manage to empty out my freezer a bit and actually have room for an ice cube tray I can do that. heh heh. Flour might be a feature- but I'm not sure. I could always sprinkle it with flour after rolling out and see what happens. :) Thanks for the lovely recipe! -Sea Hi Naomi!

I'm sorry your pittas didn't puff, I think yeast varies so much that it's best to play with it till you get the amount that's right for you. I find if I use too much yeast the bread gets an alcoholic taste that I'm not keen on. I wouldn't refrigerate it though, better to warm absolutely everything like you were bathing a delicate baby! I think the key to puffing is to get a really steamy atmosphere in the hottest oven and sprinkle the pittas with water just before they go in. I like your trick with the plastic bag, but I wonder if the flour on the outside contrbutes to the crust too and therefore encourages puffing? Hmmm.... I'd love to hear if you do trial the recipe again. I look forward to seeing what one pot meal you come up with too. x x x Sea,
