I used the Pita recipe on here and wound up with some amazing Pitas. They are a little on the thicker end, which got me wondering how to go about making pita chips. Is there a good recipe for Pita chips, or some way to take the other pita recipe and convert them into Pita chips? I am trying to replicate the Stacy's Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips. Anyone?

RE: Pita Chips
EFaden,
Pita chips are surprisingly easy. Take the pitas you've made or bought and cut them into triangles. Place them on a cookie sheet and spray/brush them with some olive oil. Then shake on some cinnamon and sugar (or salt and pepper for a more savory option that's great with dips)
Preheat your oven to 400F and cook for about 7 minutes. Be careful--they can burn pretty easily.
Hope that helps.
Re: Re: Pita Chips....
The problem is the ones I have just seem a bit too thick.... I am looking for more thin crisps. I was thinking of making another batch of the pitas and rolling them to somewhere between 1/8" and 1/16". Would that work? I was thinking about doing that, and then cutting into wedges and then "splitting the pocket", so each wedge actually makes two chips.
Yes, I forgot to mention
Yes, I forgot to mention that--I would definitely split the pocket. I haven't made chips from my own pitas yet (I usually just use whole wheat pitas from Trader Joes.) I don't have any with me, so I couldn't say about thickness, but splitting the wedges up is definitely a good idea. You'll have to experiment with putting the cinnamon and sugar on one or two sides to find which you prefer.
