I use to buy pita bread then the pandemic hit.  Once an item that was always available was suddenly sold out, everywhere.  I did the next best thing and started baking pita bread myself, at home.  It was a glorious thing.  Pillows and pockets of bread any time I wanted it.  Why had I waited so long"  

I really cannot take all the credit for finally making this recipe at home, as two of my favorite chefs in London had started sharing how to cook videos on Instagram, and one day they shared how to make pita bread.  I was shocked at how easy it was, I immediately started measuring and mixing an hour before dinner.  Okay, maybe it was really 2 hours before dinner but it is that simple.  Literally, I had pita in no time.   I have learned a few things during the pandemic and one of them is to slow down.  I was always in a hurry before.  Now I have nothing but time. I am learning how to cut my own chickens, make mayonnaise and bread by hand, whipping cream and egg whites in a copper bowl instead of a mixer, and taking my time and learning correct cooking skills. I make this recipe by hand, no mixers are needed but if you really feel like you need to use a mixer go for it.
This recipe is super easy and comes together in no time.  It is really fool-proof and works every time.  As well it is flavorful and not overly doughy.  I hate pita that is too thick and doughy. You all know how Lenny has an opinion ...
