A method for forming pita chips in a conveyorized baking system is provided that includes forming dough into circular sheets having a diameter between about 1 inches to about 3 inches, and a thickness of about 1.5 mm to about 2.0 mm proofing the circular sheets baking the proofed circular sheets in a baking oven at a temperature above 500 degrees F. for a sufficient time to cause the proofed circular sheets to balloon and for upper and lower layers of the ballooned sheet to form into cupped shapes splitting the upper layer from the lower layer to form a pair of cupped shaped pita halves and toasting the pita halves for sufficient time to form scooped shaped pita chips.
