Perforated Pitta Bread

Instead of burning your fingers trying to cut the pitta in two, now simply tear along the dotted line. Also stops the two sides from sticking together.

       Simple and effective - next stop, perforated halloumi!

       ...or non-perforated digestive biscuits?

       slit the pitta bread before you heat it.

       //slit the pitta bread before you heat it// But then all the steamy air that puffs it up will escape.

       Just use a pizza cutter!   

       But this one still gets a bun from me - I bet if these showed up in grocery stores, they'd outsell the non-perforated pitas

       we freeze ours, so it would shatter

       This is the Halfbakery! There are no pizza cutters! :^0

       Is that our version of "There is no spoon"?
—jutta, Jan 27 2009
   

       There *is* a spoon, only you can't cut pitta with it.

       I think there could be lots of holes in this idea ...

       Naw, just about 5 or 6 in the middle bit :)

       This sort of thing was mentioned on the BBC R4 show "Genius".   

       However I believe the pitta aspect is new.   

       Bun anyway for a good idea.

       I'm utterly disturbed at how you expect this to keep the two sides from sticking together. There's no logic in the post as to the mechanism and it hasn't been addressed in the annotations. I want to mark this for deletion on magical grounds in spite of your careless brevity. The nerve! Still, I kinda hate pitas as they stand, so + for addressing a very relevant topic.

       In answer to your annotation, pitta breads only stick if you cut them while still hot, which is why you need to cut them when cool. Unfortunately, if you cut them completely in half before you toast them, all the hot air escapes while they cook. Perforations, while not completely opening up the pitta, would make enough weak points in the middle to be able to tear easily and accurately without burning your fingers. Thanks for the bun. :^)

       this would make pita and hummus even more enjoyable +
