Homemade Greek pita bread, recipe may be off.

[Hotler]

Recipe calls for 3-cups flour and I should get 7-8 pitas, 8" diameter, 1/4" thick when rolled out. I can only get 8 pitas at 6 1/2"-7" diameter, 1/8" thick. After the rise and the dough is divide and rolled in to balls the recipe says to let rest 10-min. before rolling dough out to keep from spring back. I've waited 20-min. and still have spring back when rolling out. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

1. Altitude and relative humidity affect every bread recipe?

2. What kind of flour did the recipe call for?

Bread flour vs. all purpose makes a huge difference.

3. All-purpose

I even weighed out my my dough when I divided it in to 8pcs.

4. I never get as much as recipes claim.

spring back is relative, either don't worry or keep rolling.
