ABOUT Stovetop Pita Bread....(With Maida) RECIPE

Stove top pitas are soft and a delight to the tastebuds. These can be made even in oven but the top becomes a little crisp due to baking. The temperature should be accurately balanced for a good oven baked pita. This is not possible in home ovens because the temperature needed is much higher for them to get perfectly baked and are therefore done in brick ovens. Hence stovetop version i feel is the best that suits us homecooks.
