I am 1/2 Lebanese and I grew up eating this as a child. If you’ve never had peanut butter and jelly on a warm pita bread, you’ve been missing out. Thank you so much for this video Natasha!!

Pita bread stuffed with all of your favorite goodies, how can you go wrong! Natasha will not let you down! That's a giving.

Homemade pita is the best! So much more tender and flavorful than store bought. Those air pockets look amazing.

Update to my comment 2 days ago. This recipe is better than ever. I made the dough and put it in the fridge for a slow rise overnight (10hours). Not only did it roll out like a dream, in exactly 2 mins in the oven, it puffed up like a balloon and the taste... AWESOME! Thank you thank you thank you 💖

Anyone who gives Natasha a thumbs down, must have a personal vendetta against her. I find her to be super talented in the kitchen, very entertaining, and her recipes are excellent. Keep up the good work Natasha, those of us who give you thumbs up definetly appreciate you.

Wow, just WOW. I made this recipe today and thought I'd try the stovetop method but I couldn't get my pita bread to puff up (it did make very nice flatbread though lol). So I turned the oven on, place a baking sheet upside down inside the oven and heated it to 500F. FABULOUS result, I had them with doner kebab meat inside with salad, salsa and Tahini sauce they were absolutely Awesome. Thank you sooo much for sharing Natasha xx

Natasha. Your recipes are fabulous! You’re definitely my go to expert. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You’re awesome ❤️❤️❤️

[fatimabushnaq]

Thank u so much!! We also stuff them with Falafel, hummus, pickles, tomatoes and a little Arugula all at the same time! So so good! 🌹

[margaretkalman]

I must thank you for sharing your recipe for pita bread. I have made pitas on and off for many years and the most successful ones were the ones I made using your recipe for stove top pittas and following your comments. Definitely my new recipe for the future!! A fabulous taste and max. 1 1/2mins frying time for each one. And what fun to see them pop-up like balloons in the pan!!!

That stack of pita breads in the thumbnail is mouth watering!

[kashikapaliwal]

This is the best ever pita I have ever eaten! My husband couldn’t believe it’s home made!! I stuffed it with chicken souvlaki and some home made tzaziaki dip and lettuce and tomatoes! My husband was over the moon and so was I😊❤️

[angelayancey]

I've always wondered how pita bread was made!! Glad you showed us!! Thanks for the yeast tip, too!!!

[MK-kfgz]

I love fresh pita bread with Tabouli. Yum!

[cocoj]

Thank you so much for taking your rings off while kneading the dough. Far too many cooks/bakers (even on YouTube) never even consider it. Germs cling to jewelry and they can be encorporated into the dough, not to mention having to clean them later. Thanks again.

[tiffanym]

I’m learning to cook from your recipes and every single recipe of yours that I follow gets a huge applause from my family! Your recipes work and are delicious! One of our favorites is your mom’s Alfredo recipe!

My toddler LOVES pita bread and I can’t wait to try this recipe with her this weekend! She loves helping to cook!

I just wanted to say Thank you for your instructions, recommendations on kitchen utensils and gadgets, and, of course, your videos. I have learned so much cooking with you via video!

I love pita bread, I use it to copy a recipe from Panera, and it’s not in their menu anymore,
Pita bread, barbecue sauce, baby spinach, chicken, red onion, French’s original Crispy fried onion, cilantro, baked for 10 min. Delicious!
Thank you Natasha, I will love to make some pita from scratch!
