I'm sure you stay awake at night pondering upon the mysteries of the pita...
I mean, it's not a pita unless it has a pocket; and it doesn't have a pocket unless... how do you get a pocket-ed bread anyway? Well, you take this recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Peppys-Pita-Bread/Detail.aspx (you don't have to have a bread machine, like it says) and...with a really hot oven, and a few minutes the dough goes from this:
To this.
You watch these puppies puff up and you might as well be watching magic.
It might be the top-ten highlight of my baking career.
Did I say it's really cool?!
Am I a nerd?! Maybe.
But do you see the pocket- that's all air in there! The pitas flatten out when they cool, but the pocket is STILL there! Amazing. I do not lie, this all happened in my very own oven.
Homemade pita and homemade hummus, totally worth it.
