William and I always buy pitas at the grocery store for sandwiches so I was excited to try this at home. Imagine how much money you can save. Plus I always like to know what every ingredient is that I am eating. Have you ever read the ingredients for store bought pitas? These easy pitas are great for dipping but they don't really form the pockets needed for sandwiches. I will post my recipe for those also, but they take longer. If you need them in a pinch these are perfect.
