Classic Arabic Pita Bread

Pita Bread is a soft,slightly leavened flat bread baked from wheat flour and what makes it puff so impressively is the dual action of water turn into steam & yeast becomes hyperactive when both hit with the heat of oven.Food blogging gives me the advantage of not only posting the traditional & regular recipes but also trying new recipes at home & then posting them.
