Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pitas.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to develop flavor and become light and fluffy.
Cook the pitas in a hot oven. This will help them to puff up and get crispy.
Serve the pitas warm. They are best when they are fresh out of the oven.
