Chef's Note
"Brushing the exterior of the pita with a light coating of olive oil before cooking gives it a good crispness and promotes an even, golden-brown finish. Additionally, gently pressing down on the arayes during cooking ensures uniform browning and helps prevent uneven texture in the pita."
