Here are tips: 1. The pitas puff up during baking, so avoid using too much flour while rolling them out. Keep unrolled balls covered to avoid them drying out. 2. Those that dont puff up perfectly during baking were probably torn or creased in handling, so handle with care while rolling and transferring from counter to cake rack. 3. Avoid overbaking, they will turn crisp and brittle. Bread Machine Magic by Linda Rehberg and Lois Conway St. Martins Press.
