Pita

Everyday

Pita is a circular Middle Eastern flatbread recognized by its signature interior pocket created by steam during high-heat baking. This versatile bread can be made with either refined or whole-grain flour, offering a lower-calorie alternative to many loaf breads while maintaining good fiber content in whole-wheat varieties. The hollow structure makes it ideal for stuffing with meats and vegetables or serving as a dipper for hummus and other spreads.
