- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius, preferably with a baking stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
- Bake the pitas until they are puffed up and lightly browned. The best way is to place the pitas directly into a nylon bag and seal it, this will ensure their softness.
- For hamburger buns, place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover them to rise for 30 minutes.
- When the buns are puffed up, bake them in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
- For zaatar buns, roll out each ball into a pita, place them all on a baking sheet, prick with a fork, spread zaatar mixed with olive oil in the center of the pita, leaving the edges clean.
- Bake the pitas in an oven preheated to at least 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
