• Step #9 Cover up the dough in the bowl with a towel & set in a draft free area to rise to double it's bulk (1-2 hrs), then punch it down & knead it again for a few mins.
• Step #10 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Step #11 Cut pieces of dough, egg-size or larger, depending on the size of the pita desired.
• Step #12 Shape them into balls with your hands & roll them out over a lightly floured board or pastry cloth to 1/4" thickness.
• Step #13 Set 2 or 3 pitas on a lightly oiled cookie sheet & bake them on the lower rack 2-3 mins each side.
• Step #14 Bake longer for pita pockets.
• Step #15 Susie's note: Pitas should be white & soft.
• Step #16 Wrap the baked pitas in a clean towel until they are cool, then store them in plastic bags to prevent them from drying out.
• Step #17 When you are ready to use them, heat a bit of oil in a skillet & fry them a min or so on each side, or until golden brown.
• Step #18 Use them as soon as possible, because they get hard when they dry out.
