Unfortunately I found the pita made with this recipe dense, not pita like at all. I got rounds of solid, thick bread rather than a pocket. I would suggest tweaking this recipe and using metric measurements as well. Don’t know exactly why this recipe doesn’t work but it didn’t for me. I wanted pita pocket bread, not dense solid loaf bread in pita form.

since the yeast is active dry (not instant), I would recommend adding it to the water instead of the flour, letting it sit for a minute, and then adding that mixture to the flour.

Hi, I’m your recipe today and may I make a suggestion ? When baking grams are a more concise measurement. You used grams for a couple ingredients but not the primary. Thanks, Lissa Mattson

What's the conversion for yeast if using Saf Instant instead of Active Dry?

1:1 unless you're using a bread machine, which creates a warmer-than-otherwise proofing environment (in which case, use 25% less instant). ;o)

Were these tested by the Food52 test kitchen using cup (volume) measures for the water? A cup of water is not 8 ounces - it's 8 fluid ounces = 8.32 ounces. Just wondering what the correct amount of water is. (I'd use 236 grams if I didn't see the "8 ounces" there.) Thank you. ;o)

Sorry for the delayed reply, AJ - I'm away in Wisconsin and while the quiet is lovely, the internet is spotty! It is a silly typo on my part, I meant 8 fl oz - it's fixed now, thanks for the catch!
