What am I going to do with these?
I was trying out a recipe from one of our TFL members but it didn't turn out. To make a long story short, the intended sweet sandwich loaf didn't rise so I made the dough into flatbread. After all the work, I realized the dough was sweet so they didn't taste like regular pita breads. I am making curry chicken to eat with some of these for dinner tonight. But I am not sure what else I can do with them... and there are 16 rounds; cut in halves and I got 32 all in all. I consider giving some of them away, but what do I tell people how to eat them? I've never eaten sweet pita before. Any suggestions?

Eat 'em like crepes with jam or honey or Nutella maybe?
w/ butter and cinnamon.
Both very good ideas. We have just had some with the chicken curry I made for dinner. To my surprise, my 7-year-old LOVED it! He just dipped the bread into the curry sauce, ate up the whole thing then asked for a second half. I decided to tear up one into three pieces and spread jam, peanut butter, and margarine on each piece. They all tasted pretty good. I particularly like the one with peanut butter. But of course, I like everything with peanut butter. :-)
Strawberries and cream? Any berries and cream. Bananas and peanut butter as a breakfast or snack. Melt chocolate chips on one slightly, add marshmallows - a variation on s'mores.

You could cut them into wedges, spray/brush them with a little oil and then sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar onto them. Stick them in a 400 degree oven for about 5-7 minutes. Be careful as they have a tendency to burn if you let them go too long.
I imagine that you might need to do a bit of tinkering to get the flavor right with an already sweet pita, but it seems like that shouldn't be an issue. Good luck.
I can't believe people are crazy about these sweet pita. As of this afternoon I have only five left. Wow. I should make them more often. :-)
