Conventional vs Convection pita bread

I'm renting a house with an oven that is conventional and convection.

I made pita bread using both.

The top row were baked with the convection; the bottom baked with conventional.

Thoughts?

And probably over-baked.

They tasted good, though.

Hi Stephanie, 
What temperatures did you use for the two bakes? When baking in our oven, conventional function needs a higher setting than if I use convection (fan forced).

Cheers,

Gavin.

Hi Gavin,

450°F for both. I'll make note of your comment.  I also live in the Rockies. I lived on the east side of town for 18 years. It took me a while to get used to doing any cooking at high altitude. I don't know what the elevation is where I'm at now on the west side. Not sure if my elevation changed enough to make a difference. I know when my sister move to the north side, she gained 1k feet. That made a difference. 

 

And when I finally find a house to buy, I could gain 1k feet or more. 

Thanks for your input.

Stephanie
