Pita Bread #1

I attempted to make the first recipe for pita bread and although I had high hopes as I went through the different steps the end result was not exactly what I had hoped for. I think the problem was that the recipe called for too much olive oil. As a result of the quarter cup of oil in the recipe, the pita tasted more like baked pizza dough rather than the Middle Eastern flat bread I was expecting, and the oil  made the bread very crisp and almost cracker like instead of fluffy and soft . For my next attempt I am going to find a more traditional recipe rather than one which is one of a hundred in a baking book that covers a myriad of topics. Anyways below are pictures of the process.
