One thing you might want to try is baking the pitas quickly rather than letting them rest for 15 minutes while the oven pre-heats. Instead, pre-heat your oven before you start to roll out the pitas. Once you have rolled out enough pitas to fit on your stone or baking sheet, put them into the hot oven. Sometimes during the rest period the pitas can start to rise, causing the top layer to separate. Baking them right away can prevent this separation. You can also try flipping the pitas halfway through baking to encourage more even heat exposure on both sides of the pita. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
