Arabic bread

Arabic bread, also known as pita or khubz, is a soft, round flatbread originating from the Middle East. Made primarily from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, it’s baked at high temperatures to develop a pocket in the center—ideal for filling with meats, vegetables, or dips like hummus. Its versatility, chewy texture, and ability to hold fillings make it a staple in many Middle Eastern cuisines. Traditionally baked in stone or clay ovens, Arabic bread is enjoyed daily in various forms across the region and beyond.
