Pita bread

Pita bread is a soft, round flatbread originating from the Middle East. It is made from simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt, which are mixed and baked at high temperatures. During baking, the dough puffs up, creating a pocket inside as it cools—perfect for filling with ingredients such as meats, vegetables, or spreads. Pita is versatile, often used for sandwiches like gyros or falafel, and can be served warm or toasted. Its light, chewy texture and ability to hold fillings make it a popular and convenient bread choice worldwide.
