Place the rolled out dough circles on the baking sheet, and let them rest for 10 minutes.<br /><br />Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the pitas for about 4 minutes, until they are lightly browned. Allow the pitas to cool before serving.<br /><br />You can enjoy your homemade pitas with a variety of dips, spreads, and toppings. Enjoy!
