Made Pitas last night, first attempt at baking (with yeast) since home-ed - sh.itjust.works

Used this serious eats recipe [https://www.seriouseats.com/perfect-pita-bread-recipe], love their detailed explanations of each step. Didn’t have whole wheat so subbed with all purpose. Will probably add more salt next time (but we’re salt fiends) Finally, don’t have a pizza steel/stone so just used an upside down ceramic at 245-250°C Also, sorry, only snapped this one pic when I saw it blow up. Sadly, once baked every single one got devoured before another pic could capture the crumb.

That looks great!

If you consider upgrading, get a steel. I bought several stones before caving and getting a steel plate. So much less hassle.

Blackened (or maybe blued, not sure how it’s known in English) steel is the all purpose best thing one can use in an oven I think. It needs a wee bit of maintenance, but that’s really nothing. And you put paper on it anyway.
