There are two ways to cook pita bread.
The flavor is a bit different with both.<BR> To Bake Pita:<BR> Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and put a pita on a wire cake rack.
Toss in the rack and cook for 3 minutes or until the bread stops puffing up.
When you take it out, smash down the pita (Careful, its hot!)
and quickly put it in a plastic freezer bag.<BR> To Fry Pita:<BR> Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat.
When almost smoking, place a pita in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, till brown spots begin to appear.
It should look something like a tortilla when you're done.
Put in a plastic bag once it has cooled a bit.
