Egyptian Onion Pita Bread

After trying & studying several recipes for egyptian breads i developed this version which is a combination of a few key elements of all the recipes, plus my spin as well. we thought these breads were a little dense for our taste so i don't think i'm done tweaking it quite yet. if you try it and have any suggestions please feel free to note them in your review. :)
