Puff oven pitas

So, you take your regular old bread recipe, and for each loaf-size hunk of bread, you divide it into four pieces. Make a ball of each piece, and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Gently lay it on a piece of wax paper to rise for about 20 to 40 minutes, until lightly puffed. While it's rising, preheat your oven to 500 degrees F. Transfer the pita dough, gently and carefully, to an ungreased cookie sheet which has been lightly sprinkled with cornmeal or flour. You should be able to fit two pits on each sheet. Place in hot oven, turn on the light, and watch it slowly puff up. This should take about three to five minutes. When nicely puffed and rounded, open the oven door and use a spatula to flip it over. Let it cook for another minute or two, until lightly brown and set. Remove from oven and allow to cool. As it cools, it will flatten back down. When totally cool, cut each pita in half to form the pocket, fill with your favorite filling, and enjoy.
