Another question we get all the time is what  bracha are pita chips? And the rule is like this,   once bread, always bread, except if you make it  not into bread. How do we do that? It's really   important to know what kind of pita chips you're  having. A great way to know is to call us up and   ask us. But the way it works is like this.  If the pita chips were made in little pieces,   they were never bread. They're Mezonot, and  you don't have to wash. If they were once bread   and they're baked, so they were pita chips just  cut into small pieces, the regular Hamotzi. If,   however, they're deep fried, and so  they're pitas in small pieces recooked,   they're no longer bread, and then they're  Mezonot. Just like all breads, baked pita chips,   if they are Hamotzi, so they're going to be  just a kezayit is all you need for benching.
