The taste is good. A yemeni friend taught me to make pita bread: flavor wise I'd give this a 4 compared to hers, but for the ease of using a bread machine I'd give it a 10 LOL. Once you have hand-made pita bread, the store-bought kind is downright disgusting. This is awesome. Thank you! Edit: I think mine could have used a tad bit more flour. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup... it's just a little too sticky still. All other ingredients are perfect.

This was really good bread. It would be great to add an herb...maybe Rosemary.

I am an inexperienced bread maker, machine or by hand. I've had many "flops", but this was not one of them. They came out perfect, tasted great. I followed the instructions exactly as written.
