Roll each piece into a smooth ball. With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a 6-7 inch circle. Set aside on lightly floured countertop; cover with a towel. Let pitas rise about 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
Position oven rack in middle of oven; preheat to 500 degrees. Place 2 or 3 pitas on a wire cake rack. Place cake rack directly on oven rack; bake pitas 4-5 minutes until puffed and tops begin to brown. Remove from oven and immediately place pitas in a sealed brown paper bag or cover them with a damp towel until soft. Once the pitas are softened, either cut in half or split open the top edge for half or whole pitas. They can be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for 1-2 months.
