pita

Pita is a type of flatbread originating from the Middle East, characterized by its round shape and soft, thin texture. When baked at high temperatures, the dough puffs up, creating a pocket inside from which the bread can be opened. This pocket makes pita ideal for stuffing with various ingredients like meats, vegetables, or spreads. It’s versatile, often used for sandwiches, dips, or as an accompaniment to meals. Pita’s simplicity and ability to hold fillings make it a popular choice for both casual and more elaborate dishes worldwide.
