Puffy Oven-Baked Pita Pockets

These pale, soft rounds balloon dramatically in a very hot oven, forming the hollow pockets that make pita perfect for stuffing with falafel, grilled meats or salad. They stay tender and lightly chewy rather than crisp. Bake a full basket for a mezze spread and keep them wrapped in a towel to stay supple.
