>Back to bread. What is the best way to make the flat pita bread into

The only way I have found is to start with very round balls, by
rolling the dough between the palms of my hands and shaping it with
the help of my thumbs.
Once I have a round ball, which can take some time because I am no
dough artist, I gently squeeze it down to a round thick disk between
my palms, and then use my palms to further press it down on the
table. If using a rolling pin, it usually works best if you apply
pressure on it from the centre of the disk out.
Pizza makers never use a rolling pin to get their round disks - they
simply pull and turn the disk until they have the desired thickness.
Hoping this helps, and congratulations on your bacon!
