2. Knead the dough 10 min if by hand, 5 if by mixer, and the regular cycle if in a bread machine..
3. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Let sit for an hour..
4. Place dough on a lightly greased work area. Divide dough into 8 pieces..
5. Preheat oven to 500°F. Make sure you have 1 rack at the very bottom of your oven and one in the middle..
6. Roll out 2 to 4 pieces from the 8 into 6 in rounds. Place the flattened dough onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Probably will hold 4..
7. Place on bottom rack in oven for 5 min. Then place on middle rack for 2min. This is to brown the pitas. After 5 min, you should see the pitas beging to bubble or begin to pocket..
8. If your pitas have not pocketed after 5 min, you need to turn the heat up for the next batch..
