Helps a TON, thanks! I’m with you on the folded pita, so this is just what I’m looking for.

Heather – We do have great minds! To answer your question they do have a pocket but as far as it being very useful for anything that’s another story. The pocket can be opened but mine was like a thick side and a thin side, the thin side being very easily torn. Now, I’ve always ordered my falafel/pita sandwich folded as opposed to the pocket so these are perfect for me. They also didn’t call for whole wheat flour but I added it and it worked out fine. I kneaded mine by hand, not sure if that makes a difference compared to a mixer. I even used the whole wheat flour when I was adding a little here and there while kneading to make it not so sticky at first. Hope this helps!

One more thing: Are these more of the traditional flatbread-like pita, or are you able to cut it in half and open the ‘pocket’?

Thanks again.

Great minds think alike — I just took the antique Middle Eastern cookbook off the shelf for making pita bread tomorrow! I used that recipe once before and it was okay, probably not meant for substitution with some whole wheat flour. Now that I see your recipe, and how wonderfully soft and pliable your pitas look, I’ll be printing this and trying my hand. Thanks!

Cheers and Happy 100th,
