Breadmaking 101 - pitas didn't "pocket"

Deep East Texas, TX(Zone 8a)

I bought a garage sale bread machine this summer for four bucks with a cookbook and my DD donated two more. I am experimenting. Some successes and some failed breads which are relegated to feed the birds, fish, turtles.

Every week I've tried a different recipe or baked the same recipe in a different manner. Right now, I am narrowing down the breads we like. I also don't care to bake it in machine. As a result, I am also tweaking the temps and times in the oven.

So... as questions surface, I would appreciate any feedback you can offer.

Last week, I made pita pockets. I love the bread flavor and texture of this recipe but even after letting them rest for 20 minutes, they didn't create air pockets. I sliced and ate them as thin buns which were tasty. I pack daily lunches and think pitas would make it easier. Any ideas on how pita pockets work?
