Homemade pita bread and Thyme fatayer

We eat pita bread a lot here in Cairo, its a staple.  Its like eating rice back in Malaysia. We eat for breakfast with cheese or eggs, for lunch and dinner. Taste is plain as its made of only flour and water with little bit of salt and oil (optional). Usually we bought from bread maker but here am learning to make my own just for fun and incase we travel anywhere that doesn't have pita bread i can bake at home. Sustainable living in the making haha. 

 Here it is Pita bread puffing like pillow. Its always thrilling to watch it puffing up. Sometimes it puff up halfway or just bubble up few places but thats fine, maybe due to uneven bread surface i guess or temperature not hot enough.

Sometimes i divide my dough into 2 batch, first one to make pita and the other half i make this fatayer with thyme. I forget what it is call..T_T when i remember it i will try to update it here. This is good for breakfast. You can make it chewy or crunchy as preferred.
