Make your own fresh Israeli pita bread (pitot in Hebrew) with this easy 5-ingredient recipe.

If you divide the dough into 20 pieces, your pitot will be on the smaller side. If you prefer larger bread, divide into 10 or 15 pieces.

In this recipe, the pitot gets the second rise on their baking sheets before a quick bake in a very hot oven. This technique can yield pitot that doesn't puff to create pockets (although they are delicious nonetheless.)

If you want stuffable pockets for falafel or other sandwiches, consider baking on a heated baking stone or sheet instead.
